90‑21.45. Admissibility of evidence of sexual history.

(a) In any proceeding under this section, evidence concerning the client’s sexual history shall not be admissible unless:

(1) The psychotherapist requests a pretrial hearing and makes an offer to introduce evidence of the relevance of the sexual history; and

(2) The court finds that the evidence is relevant in the interests of justice and that its probative value significantly outweighs its prejudicial effect.

(b) The court shall allow the admission only of specific information or examples of instances of the client’s conduct which the court considers relevant. The court’s order shall describe in detail the conduct which is admissible, and no other such evidence shall be introduced.

(c) Sexual history otherwise admissible under this article shall not be proved by reputation or opinion. (1998‑213, s. 1.)
