Lavoie appeals from a judgment of conviction of one count of unlawful sexual contact (Class B), 17-A M.R.S. § 255-A(l)(E~l) (2009),1 entered in *410the Superior Court (Sagadahoc County, Brodrick, J.) following a jury trial. Lavoie argues that the court {Mills, J.) erred in denying his motion to suppress statements made during a polygraph examination because various statements and actions by detectives during the examination constituted coercive police conduct and rendered his statements involuntary. We affirm the judgment.
