Heading: Reference to Oral Sex

Text: Both T.H. and K.J. testified that when they entered White's bedroom, he requested that they perform oral sex on him. White argued that reference to his request for oral sex would be improper and that the testimony should be limited to the acts underlying the charges, which were vaginal, penile sex. The testimony of T.H. and K.J. showed that they entered the bedroom, that the request for oral sex was immediately made, and that vaginal-penile sex immediately followed. The sequence of events was such an inseparable whole that the State was entitled to show all that occurred from the moment that T.H. and K.J. entered the bedroom up to and including the sexual intercourse White had with T.H. and K.J. See Thessing v. State, 365 Ark. 384, 230 S.W.3d 526 (2006). There was no abuse of discretion.
