ADVICE<br />
To avoid CMT <strong>and</strong> ag fel,<br />
do not let record establish a<br />
minor victim was aware of<br />
conduct. Keep record clear<br />
of egregious details or<br />
intent. Safer plea:<br />
Disorderly Conduct.<br />
See endnote. Safer plea:<br />
Assault.<br />
Avoid <strong>reference</strong>s to<br />
emotional/physical harm<br />
<strong>and</strong> nonconsensual nature.<br />
Leave age of victim out if<br />
possible.<br />

possibly avoid deportability<br />
as child abuse if linked to<br />
13-1203A3. See Note<br />

No because no<br />
intent to<br />
commit CMT<br />
Possibly if<br />
intent to<br />
commit theft;<br />

Unlikely, but potentially<br />
as stalking or child<br />

No<br />

held to apply to<br />

Good alternative to<br />
Stalking.<br />
A safer plea.<br />
To further avoid potential<br />
problems, plead to §13-<br />
1502, 1503; but with the<br />
preceding conditions, this<br />
should be a safer plea.<br />
