State v. Young

CLIFFORD, Justice.

The defendant, Thomas E. Young, appeals his convictions of gross sexual misconduct, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 253(1)(B) (1983 & Supp.1988), and unlawful sexual contact, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 255(1)(C) (1983 & Supp. 1988), following a jury trial in Superior Court (Hancock County, Beaulieu, J.). We affirm the judgment.

Young first argues that his motion to suppress certain inculpatory statements he made to a police detective during an interview conducted at Young’s office was improperly denied. The statements were not preceded by Miranda warnings. See Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S.Ct.…
