The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “The defendant who was born in 1971, baby-sat for the victims, a boy, M, and a girl, S, between October 1, 1990 and July 30, 1992. At the time, M was between six and eight years of age and S was between seven and nine years of age. The defendant generally took care of the children on Friday evenings at their home, but on occasion the children stayed with the defendant at her parents' home. While she cared for them, the defendant subjected both M and S to sexual contact on numerous occasions. The contact included having one of the children insert his or her finger into the defendant's vagina and moving it about at the defendant's direction. Sometimes the defendant touched M's penis. On occasion, the defendant removed her clothing, had the children do the same and attempt sex together, and then the defendant rubbed M's penis against her vagina. The defendant instructed the children not to tell anyone what they had done. In 1992, S asked the defendant to stop subjecting her to sexual contact and the defendant complied. The defendant did, however, continue to have sexual contact with M, including one incidence of placing M's penis in her mouth. In July, 1995, M told his mother about the sexual activity. When questioned by her mother, S confirmed the events. The defendant was arrested and charged shortly thereafter. Trial was held in March, 1997, at which time M and S were twelve and thirteen respectively.”
