Conn. Crim. Jury Instr. 2.6-13
Other Misconduct - Criminal Sexual Behavior
When the defendant is charged with criminal sexual behavior, evidence of the defendant’s
commission of another offense or offenses is admissible and may be considered if it is relevant to
prove that the defendant had the propensity or a tendency to engage in the type of criminal
sexual behavior with which (he/she) is charged. However, evidence of a prior offense on its own
is not sufficient to prove the defendant guilty of the crimes charged in the information. Bear in
mind as you consider this evidence that at all times, the state has the burden of proving that the
defendant committed each of the elements of the offense charged in the information. I remind
you that the defendant is not on trial for any act, conduct, or offense not charged in the
information.
