SC20725 - State v. Daren Y. (“On appeal, the defendant claims that (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction of sexual assault in the first degree or the vacated conviction of sexual assault in the fourth degree arising out of conduct involving J, (2) the trial court erred in failing to obtain the defendant’s knowing and voluntary waiver of his rights under the statute of limitations as to the first degree sexual assault and risk of injury charges arising out of conduct involving B, (3) the trial court erred in admitting certain sexual misconduct evidence because the prejudicial effect of that evidence outweighed any probative value, and the court failed to provide the necessary limiting instruction when admitting such evidence, and (4) the trial court erred in declining to release D’s psychiatric records and declining to conduct an in camera inspection of B’s and J’s psychiatric records.”)
