I'd like to go back to what Mr. Davies said. In the French version of his motion, the words "description du crime" are used. However, the word "description" can mean many things. For example, describing a crime may be limited to the description of the crime scene, but that's not the same thing as a modus operandi. The description of the crime and that of the victim are part of the method of operating.
A sex offender often chooses his victim. Some do not choose their victim, but they are in the minority. That's part of the method of operating. If we want to define method of operating in a precise manner, we'll have to add the words "description of the crime scene", "description of the victim", "description of the various stages leading to the crime". The description of the crime is only one part of the method of operating.
