What does “indecent liberties with a child” mean in legalese? It could mean anything from exhibitionism to rape. Is there a strict legal definition for the term? ---

> [@EinsteinsHund](#): > > What does “indecent liberties with a child” mean in legalese? It could mean anything from exhibitionism to rape. Is there a strict legal definition for the term?  Looks like it happened in North Carolina. I believe that this is the relevant statute: > [@](#): > > § 14-202.1.

Thanks, but you’re right, that doesn’t clear anything. Reads like an age old law written by Puritans who couldn’t express the fact of the matter, maybe it was. ---

If someone is 16 years old and tries or succeeds in committing a sexual, lewd, or lascivious act with someone who is 11 or younger, they’re guilty of taking indecent liberties with a child. If someone is more than 16 years old and tries or succeeds in committing a sexual, lewd, or lascivious act with someone who is at least 5 years younger than they are, they’re guilty of taking indecent liberties with a child. I’m guessing the acts in question can be anything from exposing yourself, being a peeping tom, feeling up the child or having the child feel you up, all the way up to actually having sex with the child. ---

Yeah, Irvin totally capitalized on equating The Police Murder Of George Floyd unrest with BLM and the simple concept at the core of BLM. Which, IMO, was weird for a Black guy to do. ---
