Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Roy D. L.

July 28, 2021339 Conn. 820

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for sexual assault and risk of injury to a child. It held that the forensic interview was admissible under the medical-treatment exception, that any prosecutorial misstatement during closing argument did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial in a bench trial, and that the evidence was sufficient to establish both the charged conduct and the required intent. The court also rejected the defendant’s as-applied vagueness challenge because the statutes and their judicial interpretations provided fair notice that the conduct was criminal.
