§ 60.43 Rules of evidence; admissibility of evidence of victim's sexual

conduct in non-sex offense cases.

Evidence of the victim's sexual conduct, including the past sexual

conduct of a deceased victim, may not be admitted in a prosecution for

any offense, attempt to commit an offense or conspiracy to commit an

offense defined in the penal law unless such evidence is determined by

the court to be relevant and admissible in the interests of justice,

after an offer of proof by the proponent of such evidence outside the

hearing of the jury, or such hearing as the court may require, and a

statement by the court of its findings of fact essential to its

determination.
