Matthew R. Howsare, of Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, of Columbia; J. Todd Kincannon, of Barnes, Alford, Stork & Johnson, LLP, of Columbia; and Jason B. Buffkin, of Crime Victim Legal Network, of Columbia, for Amicus Curiae South Carolina Crime Victim Legal Network.

Acting Justice BURNETT.
Respondent/Petitioner (Hubner) was convicted of six counts of lewd act upon a child and was sentenced to three consecutive twelve-year terms of imprisonment, two concurrent twelve-year terms of imprisonment, and one fifteen-year term of imprisonment, which was suspended on service of five years' probation. Hubner appealed.
The Court of Appeals reversed the convictions, holding the trial judge committed reversible error in admitting evidence of a prior sexual assault against a different victim. State v. Hubner, 362 S.C. 572, 608 S.E.2d 463 (Ct.App.2005). In light of our holding in State v. Wallace, Op. No. 26703, 683 S.E.2d 275 (S.C. Sup.Ct. filed August 17, 2009), the decision of the Court of Appeals is
REVERSED.
TOAL, C.J., and WALLER, J., concur. BEATTY, J., concurring in result only. PLEICONES, J., dissenting in a separate opinion.
Justice PLEICONES.
For the reasons given in my dissent in State v. Wallace. Op. No. 26703 (S.C. Sup.Ct. filed August 17, 2009), I respectfully dissent.
