The following excerpt is from McGill v. Shinn, 19-99002 (9th Cir. 2021):
or where it was unclear whether the alleged sexual abuse actually occurred, Samayoa v. Ayers, 649 F.3d 919, 929 (9th Cir. 2011). We have also recognized that even if evidence of sexual abuse may have made a petitioner more sympathetic to a jury, it may also have the unwanted effect of making him seem less likely to be rehabilitated.
