Comment
I.C. § 18–1508.
The alleged act(s) in element 3 must match the alleged act(s) in the charging document. State v. Folk, 151 Idaho 327, 342, 256 P.3d 735, 750 (2011); State v. Day, 154 Idaho 476, 480–81, 299 P.3d
788, 792–93 (Ct. App. 2013). The bracketed language “or any other lewd or lascivious act” in element 3 should only be included when such act is alleged in the charging document. State v. Day, 154 Idaho 476, 480–81, 299 P.3d 788, 792–93 (Ct. App. 2013).
Physical contact that is not of a similar class or character as the other enumerated acts does not constitute lewd or lascivious conduct. State v. Kavajecz, 139 Idaho 482, 486–87, 80 P.3d 1083, 1087–88 (2003). For example, touching of the breasts, kissing, or tickling is not “a lewd or lascivious act.” State v. Folk, 151 Idaho 327, 342, 256 P.3d 735, 750 (2011). A violation of I.C. § 18-1506, sexual abuse of a child under the age of sixteen, is not a lesser included offense of I.C. § 18-1508, lewd conduct with a minor child under sixteen. State v. Flegel, 151 Idaho 525, 529–30, 261 P.3d 519, 523–24 (2011).
