State v. Jason B.
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of sexual assault in the first degree, among other crimes. The trial court sentenced Defendant to a term of imprisonment followed by probation. Defendant filed a motion to correct an illegal sentence, arguing that his sentence for first degree sexual assault was illegal because section 53a-70(b)(3) requires that persons convicted of that offense be sentenced to a term of imprisonment followed by a period of special parole. The trial court agreed with Defendant and sentenced him to a term of imprisonment and special parole for his conviction of first degree sexual assault. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that section 53a-70(b)(3) requires only that any period of special parole that may be imposed shall, along with the accompanying term of imprisonment, constitute a total sentence of not less than ten years.
