15 This being said, I must respectfully disagree with Hallett J.A. that the evidence of sexual conduct unrelated to the subject matter of this charge was relevant to the issue of "motive to fabricate". Although "motive to fabricate" was, indeed, the defence's theory, I do not see how evidence about the nature and frequency of sex, either with the accused or with other persons, would advance the "motive to fabricate" defence except in the most unusual of circumstances. By way of illustration only, I would note that such circumstances might arise in the context of a poisoned or acrimonious relationship. See, e.g., State v. Jalo, 557 P.2d 1359 (Oregon Ct. App., 1976).
