Va. Model Jury Instr. Crim. No. 29.300
Taking Indecent Liberties With Children—Indecent Exposure With Lascivious Intent
The defendant is charged with the crime of indecent exposure with lascivious intent to a child.
The Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt each of the following elements of that
crime:
(1) That the defendant:
[(a) knowingly and intentionally exposed his sexual or genital parts to (name of child) who was at the
time under the age of fifteen (15); or
(b) knowingly and intentionally proposed that (name of child), who was at the time under the age of 15,
expose [his/her] sexual or genital parts to the defendant;]; and
(2) That the defendant acted with lascivious intent; and
(3) That the defendant was 18 or older at the time.
If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt
each of the above elements of the crime as charged, then you shall find the defendant guilty [but
you shall not fix the punishment until your verdict has been returned and further evidence has
been heard by you].
If you find that the Commonwealth has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any one or
more of the elements of the crime, then you shall find the defendant not guilty.
