  …relevant solely to prove bad character or propensity.” Despite recent expressions of disenchantment with the ban on propensity evidence in child sexual molestation cases, see, e.g., Espey v. State, 407 So. 2d 300 (Fla. 4th DCA 1981); State v. Rush, 399 So. 2d 527 (Fla. 2d DCA 1981), we are bound to follow not only Williams, but its codified version.

We are not faced here with the problems considered by Judge Campbell in State v. Rush, 399 So. 2d 527 (Fla. 2d DCA 1981). In Rush the defendant objected to the introduction of similar fact evidence due to a lack of sufficient similarities in the different incidents.
