Understanding Child Molestation and Its Implications

Child molestation is also known as “lewd and lascivious” acts upon a minor.  But what acts are considered “lewd”?

  • The sexual touching of any body part on a child (even with clothes on)
  • Causing a child to touch your body parts or those of someone else
  • Touching with the intent of arousal
  • Touching to appeal or gratify your lust, passion or desires of the child
  • Creating force, fear, threats or violence on a child in regards to performing or partaking in lewd acts
  • Annoying or disturbing a child by means that are of abnormal sexual interest
  • Oral copulation
  • Soliciting a minor
  • Continual sexual abuse
  • Sexual intercourse

Consequences of Registering as a Sex Offender in California

Any individual, in the State of California, who commits a child molestation crime, will be charged with a felony and required to register as a sex offender. Sex offender registration is a life long sentence and will have a major impact on your life. If you fail to comply with the registration policies, you will be sentenced to additional jail time.
