Description
The defendant was convicted of sexual abuse in the first degree in subjecting H.W., a girl just turning 8, to sexual contact over a period of several months. At the outset of the trial a videotaped statement of the victim was received into evidence pursuant to Γ§ 492.304, RSMo 1986, over objection on constitutional and other grounds. The defendant appeals directly to this Court, asserting that Γ§ 492.304 violates the confrontation clause of the Sixth Amendment and the similar provision of the Missouri Constitution, Art. I, Γ§ 18(a). Other grounds of error relating to the statement are also alleged. We reverse and remand for a new trial, without reaching the constitutional issue.
