Is a false allegation of sexual assault relevant to the issue of credibility?

A prior false accusation of sexual molestation is relevant to the issue of a victim's credibility. Such evidence is admissible under Evidence Code section 1103, subdivision (a)(1). (People v. Franklin (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 328, 335-336.) The trial court possesses the discretion, under Evidence Code section 352, to exclude evidence of prior reports of sexual assault if such evidence would consume considerable time and divert the jury from the crimes charged at trial. (People v. Miranda (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th 1403, 1424.)
