A-44/45-17 State v. Guilermo Santamaria (079934)

Did the State’s introduction of more than fifty sexually explicit photographs, which were taken after the victim turned eighteen, for the purpose of establishing the existence of a sexual relationship between defendant and the victim when the victim was a minor, constitute plain error that required the reversal of defendant’s convictions for sexual assault; and was it reversible error for the State to comment in summation on defendant’s silence when he was confronted by the victim during a recorded conversation?
