Before SALTER, EMAS and SCALES, JJ.

     PER CURIAM.
      The trial court did not abuse its discretion in the various evidentiary rulings

it made regarding the admission of testimony by State witnesses. Nor do we find

that the trial court permitted certain collateral crime evidence, admitted at trial

pursuant to a pretrial hearing, to become a feature of the trial.1

      Affirmed.




1 The collateral crime evidence was characterized below as Willams Rule evidence,
see Williams v. State, 

(Fla. 1959), codified at section 90.404(2)(a),
Fla. Stat. (2013). However, some of this evidence was also properly admissible as
inextricably intertwined with, or inseparable from, the offenses charged, or was
admissible as bearing on a relevant issue at trial. See Dorsett v. State, 

(Fla. 3d DCA 2006). See also § 90.404(2)(b)1. (providing that “[i]n a
criminal case in which the defendant is charged with a crime involving child
molestation, evidence of the defendant’s commission of other crimes, wrongs, or
acts of child molestation is admissible and may be considered for its bearing on
any matter to which it is relevant.”)
