Heading: Testimony regarding gender and homosexuality

Text: Schene next argues that the government erred in admitting testimony regarding the propensity of women to traffic in, and view, child pornography. Specifically, Schene claims that this testimony was unreliable and failed to meet the standards established in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579, 589, 113 S.Ct. 2786, 125 L.Ed.2d 469 (1993), Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137, 152, 119 S.Ct. 1167, 143 L.Ed.2d 238 (1999), and Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Also, he claims that the government's witnesses violated Rule 704(b) by testifying to the ultimate issue of Schene's mental state. Finally, he claims that the government suggested that Schene was a homosexual, which violated his right to due process and a fundamentally fair trial. `We review challenges to admissibility of evidence solely for abuse of discretion.'
