The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 143 Conn.App. 691, 70 A.3d 1123, is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court correctly determine that the trial court properly admitted out-of-court statements of the victims as age inappropriate knowledge of the victims? If not, was the error harmful in light of the limiting instruction given?
“2. Did the Appellate Court correctly determine that the trial court properly allowed into evidence the testimony of Officer Kim Parrott which provided the context for the defendant's admission to the conduct underlying the sexual assault charges? If not, was the error harmful?
“3. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the state did not engage in prosecutorial impropriety during closing argument?”
