Evidence was sufficient to conclude, beyond reasonable doubt, that defendant touched victim's intimate parts for the purpose of degrading or humiliating her, therefore constituting "sexual contact". 124 CA 261 . Sexual assault in the fourth degree is not a lesser included offense of sexual assault in the first degree; convictions under this section and Sec. 53a-70 do not violate the prohibition against double jeopardy because they are separate and distinct crimes and each crime requires proof of an element that the other does not. 171 CA 530. It is undisputable that Connecticut recognizes a clear public policy against sexual misconduct and sexual harassment; this public policy is evidenced in state criminal statutes, which provide that "a person is guilty of sexual assault in the fourth degree when ... (2) such person subjects another person to sexual contact without such other person's consent"; thus, arbitration award reinstating police officer who had engaged in sexual misconduct and harassment while on duty clearly violates established public policy and must be vacated. 48 CS 574 .

Cited. 227 Conn. 207 ; 230 Conn. 43 . Subdiv. (1)(A) and Sec. 53-21(a)(2) are not the same offense for double jeopardy purposes. 291 C. 1 . Subdiv. (2): Consistent with other provisions of the Penal Code, sexual assault in the fourth degree is not a strict liability offense with respect to consent element and criminal negligence is the required mens rea for that element. 317 C. 482 .

Subdiv. (1)(A): This offense and the offense of risk of injury to a child are not the same offense for double jeopardy. 49 CA 409 . There was sufficient evidence produced at trial to convict defendant of sexual assault in the fourth degree; the state proved defendant was the perpetrator of the assault and victim's testimony, although inconsistent, was credible. 110 CA 97 . Subdiv. (1)(A): Under 2005 revision, trial court properly found that minor respondent acted with mental state necessary for commission of sexual assault because court's finding that respondent acted for the purpose of sexual gratification was supported by ample circumstantial evidence, not solely by evidence that respondent had contact with intimate parts of victim. 117 CA 582 . 2003 revision of Subdiv. (1)(A) and Sec. 53-21(a)(2) are not the same offenses for double jeopardy purposes. 118 CA 589 .
