Heading: Asserted Exploitation of Exclusion of the List from Sorensen's Address Book

Text: Defendant claims the prosecutor engaged in misconduct by arguing it was unlikely that Sorensen would instigate sexual activity with defendant in the manner described in defendant's testimony, in light of their being essentially strangers. According to defendant, the prosecutor was taking unfair advantage of the exclusion of the list of names from Sorensen's address book that defendant claimed represented a list of sexual partners. Defendant did not object or seek an admonition at trial, and therefore is barred from claiming error on appeal. Moreover, as discussed ante, in part II.C.1.b, defendant failed to establish the list was relevant evidence on the issue of Sorensen's sexual proclivities, especially with regard to strangers, and thus there is no basis for a claim that the prosecutor took unfair advantage of its exclusion or misled the jury in this regard.
