Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Imperiale
January 7, 2021337 Conn. 694
Summary
The court affirmed the revocation of the defendant's probation after he failed to complete inpatient sex offender treatment because of repeated misconduct at the treatment facility. It held that the facility was not functionally equivalent to incarceration, that the placement was reasonably related to rehabilitation and public safety, and that the defendant's equal protection and cruel-and-unusual-punishment claims lacked merit. The court also rejected the defendant's claim that he lacked adequate notice that residential treatment could be required.
