King v. Commonwealth

Facts:

Defendant sought review of a judgment from the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which entered convictions on assorted counts of producing sexually explicit material, carnal knowledge, aggravated sexual battery, and indecent liberties brought by plaintiff Commonwealth.

If you are facing a criminal case in Virginia, contact a SRIS Law Group lawyer for help. You can reach us at 888-437-7747

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

• All the elements of the crime of taking indecent liberties are not included in the crime of aggravated sexual battery. Only individuals over age eighteen who maintain a custodial relationship with the victim can be convicted of taking indecent liberties. Thus, the commission of aggravated sexual battery by a person under age eighteen would not constitute the crime of taking indecent liberties. This distinction alone is enough to render aggravated sexual battery and taking indecent liberties distinct offenses.
• The commission of aggravated sexual assault by a person not in a custodial relationship with the victim would not constitute the crime of taking indecent liberties. The requirement of custodial relationship is not merely a basis for enhancing punishment. Under Va. Code Ann. § 18.2-370.1, the custodial relationship the accused maintains with respect to the victim is a predicate to guilt. Only those persons who maintain a custodial relationship with their victim can be convicted under § 18.2-370.1.
