What Does Indecency With A Child By Contact Mean
Indecency with a child by contact is a criminal offense typically defined as engaging in sexual contact with a child under a specified age (often 17) that involves touching of the child’s genitals, anus, breast, or other intimate parts, or causing the child to touch the offender’s intimate parts, without intercourse. It is a distinct charge from sexual assault or rape and carries severe legal penalties.
