Bryan Scadden, Appellant (defendant) v. the State of Wyoming, Appellee (plaintiff)

Summary

The court affirmed Scadden’s conviction for second-degree sexual assault, holding that the position-of-authority statute was constitutional as applied to a teacher and coach who used his influence over a minor student to cause sexual submission. It also upheld the admission of course-of-conduct evidence and generalized expert testimony about delayed reporting, and found no reversible error in the handling of the pubic-hair evidence, preliminary-hearing transcript, sufficiency challenge, or jury instructions.
