SEXUAL ABUSE OF A CHILD BY A PERSON IN A POSITION
OF TRUST, AUTHORITY OR SUPERVISION IN THE
SECOND DEGREE [INTENTIONAL EXPOSURE - FEMALE]
In order to find Defendant guilty of a Sexual Abuse of a Child by a Person
in a Position of Trust, Authority, or Supervision in the Second Degree, you must
find the State has proved the following six (6) elements beyond a reasonable
doubt:
(1) Defendant, a female, exposed her genitals, breast, or buttocks to a child;
(2) Defendant knew the conduct was likely to cause annoyance, affront,
offense, or alarm to the child;
(3) Defendant was at least four (4) years of older than the child;
(4) The child was less than sixteen (16) years of age at the time of the
charged offense;
(5) Defendant stood in a position of trust, authority, or supervision over
the child, or was a(n) invitee or designee of person who stood in a position of
trust, authority, or supervision over the child; and
(6) Defendant acted intentionally.
It is no defense to the charge of Dangerous Crime Against a Child that
Defendant did not know the child’s age at the time of the crime or reasonably
believed the child had reached their sixteenth (16) birthday or was not younger
than sixteen (16) at the time of the crime.
“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to
expose herself to the child.
