OPINION
WOLIN, District Judge.
This appeal presents the Court with an opportunity to apply, for the first time in a sexual harassment and discrimination action, newly enacted Federal Rule of Evidence (“FRE”) 415 to a proffer of evidence that a defendant committed prior uncharged acts of sexual assault. While this Court can foresee a situation in which FRE 415 will allow this sort of evidence in a sexual harassment case involving allegations of assault, this is not the appropriate case to establish such a precedent.
Plaintiffs Julie Nolan, Helen Webb, Patricia Stafford and Patricia Gonzalez…
