Sexual Harassment [Threat]
SEXUAL HARASSMENT [THREAT]
In order to find Defendant guilty of Sexual Harassment, you must find the
State has proved the following two (2) elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
(1) Defendant engaged in conduct likely to result in the commission of a
sexual offense against a person; and
(2) Defendant acted intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly.
“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to
commit a sexual offense against a person.
“Knowingly” means Defendant was aware of the nature of the conduct and
it was practically certain the conduct would result in a sexual offense against a
person.
“Recklessly” means Defendant was aware of and consciously disregarded a
substantial and unjustifiable risk a sexual offense against a person would result
from Defendant’s conduct. The State must demonstrate the risk was of such a
nature and degree that Defendant’s disregard of the risk was a gross deviation from
the standard of conduct a reasonable person would observe under the same
circumstances.
