W&IC 6600(a)(3) allows the use of multiple-level hearsay to prove the details of the sex offenses for which D convicted.

To prove D's prior conviction was serious felony, probation report inadmissible hearsay coming within no exception.

Using victim hearsay statements from probation report at probable cause hearing is not DP violation as D has opportunity to challenge them.
