Rule
412-1. Evidence not admissible in civil proceeding involving sexual misconduct.
(1) Unless the alleged victim has

and of unfair prejudice to any party, the following evidence is not admissible
in a civil proceeding involving alleged sexual misconduct:
(a) Evidence
offered to prove that an alleged victim engaged in other sexual behavior; or
(b) Evidence
offered to prove an alleged victims sexual predisposition.
(2) If a party
intends to offer evidence under subsection (1) of this section, the party must:
(a) Make a
written motion at least 15 days before the date on which the proceeding in
which the evidence is to be offered is scheduled to begin unless the court, for
good cause, sets a different time;
(b) In the
motion, specifically describe the evidence and state the purpose for which it
is to be offered;
(c) Serve the
motion on all parties; and
(d) Notify the
alleged victim or the alleged victims representative.
(3) Before
admitting evidence under this section, the court must conduct an in camera
hearing and give the alleged victim and parties a right to attend and be heard.
Unless the court orders otherwise, the motion, related materials and the record
of the hearing are confidential. A party making a motion under this section
shall state in the caption that the motion is confidential.
(4) As used in
this section, in camera means out of the presence of the public and the jury.
