How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• exposing penis to child in lewd manner was child molestation, even though the child turned her head and did not actually see the penis
• “Intent, which is a mental attitude, is commonly detectable only inferentially, and the law accommodates this”
• defendant’s “conduct is rendered no less culpable by the victim’s good judgment in turning her head away.”
• evidence was sufficient to sustain obstruction conviction where defendant grew belligerent after being placed in patrol car, began kicking window, and threatened to “pop a cap in [the officer’s] ass” if he saw him again
• “Although the evidence showed that [the defendant] was unsuccessful in his attempt to coax [the child victim] to look at his exposed penis, his conduct is rendered no less culpable by the victim’s good judgment in turning her head away.”
