Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Victor O.
January 19, 2016
Summary
The court held that the statute governing first-degree sexual assault does not require special parole in every case. Instead, it requires a combined sentence of imprisonment and special parole totaling at least ten years only when the sentencing court elects to impose that sentencing option. The court affirmed denial of the defendant’s motion to correct his sentence because his sentence was unlawful only insofar as it imposed probation for a class A felony, not because it lacked mandatory special parole.
