ORDER
PER CURIAM:
Following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, William Stephan was convicted of four counts of first-degree child molestation. He was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment on each count. Stephan appeals. He argues that the circuit court erred by admitting expert testimony which vouched for the victim’s credibility. He also challenges the admission of evidence of his prior conviction for first-degree child molestation as propensity evidence under Article I, § 18(c) of the Missouri Constitution. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties which sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 30.25(b).
