How courts have described this case

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

• holding that state crime involving sexual contact with a child, without requiring knowledge of child’s age, met mens rea requirement because it required an intentional act
• finding that “touching the sexual or other intimate parts of the victim” satisfies the actus reus requirement
• “Acting with the purpose of gratifying a sexual desire is an intentional act, which exceeds the minimum mens rea required under the federal definition.”
• distinguishing acts that create potential harm to a child, from those that involve actual sexual activity with a child, the latter of which “categorically constitutes maltreatment of a child”
