Summary
Existing law prohibits several forms of sexual battery, including, among others, the touching of an intimate part of another person, if the touching is against the will of the person touched and is for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse. Existing law also defines sexual battery as causing another person, against that person's will while that person is unlawfully restrained by the accused or an accomplice, to touch an intimate part of either of those persons or a 3rd person for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse. Under existing law, sexual battery is punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony.
This bill would make it a misdemeanor for a person who, for the purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse, causes another, against that person's will, to masturbate or touch an intimate part of either of those persons or a 3rd person.
By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
