In aggravated sexual assault trial, outcry witness testimony was admissible. (In The Matter Of V.B.) (05-3-10)

On February 23, 2005, the San Antonio Court of Appeals found no evidence in the record that the trial court abused its discretion in finding the victims' statements reliable and that the testimony from the outcry witness bore sufficient indicia of reliability with respect to the time, content, and circumstances of the statements for the testimony to be admissible pursuant to Texas Family Code § 54.031.
