John JONES, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided March 18, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Oliver Dean Sanderford, Public Defender Service, with whom James Klein and Samia Fam, Public Defender Service, were on the briefs, for appellant.

Elizabeth H. Danello, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Jeffrey A. Taylor, United States Attorney at the time, Roy W. McLeese III, and Cynthia G. Wright, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before GLICKMAN and BLACKBURNE-RIGSBY, Associate Judges, and ROSS, Associate Judge, Superior Court of the District of Columbia.


GLICKMAN, Associate Judge:

Appellant Jones stands convicted of misdemeanor sexual abuse and simple assault. The victims of these offenses were two students at the high school where Jones was a counselor and teacher. Jones claims the trial judge committed reversible error in admitting expert testimony explaining the methods of child sex offenders and the reactions of their immature victims. We disagree and affirm Jones's convictions.
