    Default Re: What Acts Constitute Sexual Battery Against a Minor

    While I can't tell you exactly what the person is alleged to have done, I can direct you to the statute which lists the elements of that offense:
    Quote Quoting Virginia Code, Sec. 18.2-67.3. Aggravated sexual battery; penalty.
    A. An accused shall be guilty of aggravated sexual battery if he or she sexually abuses the complaining witness, and

    1. The complaining witness is less than 13 years of age, or

    2. The act is accomplished through the use of the complaining witness's mental incapacity or physical helplessness, or

    3. The offense is committed by a parent, step-parent, grandparent, or step-grandparent and the complaining witness is at least 13 but less than 18 years of age, or
