(Court opinion corrected 1/24/13.) Although testimony of 3-year-old minor victim and her grandmother did not corroborate every specific allegation against Defendant as to his sexual abuse of minor, independent evidence corroborates some of the circumstances of Defendant's statement and corresponds with statement. Court did not err in conducting Section 115-10 hearing, and allowing testimony of persons to whom minor made statements in Defendant's subsequent discharge hearing. Any evidence admissible at a criminal trial is also admissible at a Section 104-25 discharge hearing. (QUINN and SIMON,concurring.)
