Q: Did this person violate PC 243.4 Sexual Battery, PC 288 Lewd Acts with a Minor Child Under 14, or PC 647.6 Annoy child?
In a reddit post related to legal questions, there appears to be a person, who obsessively imagines questionable stuff.
According to him: He lives in northern CA. While he was jogging across a bridge which had a family (parent and 4 small kids) sitting on the bridge, he imagined that he was crossing the bridge with the intent of causing bridge vibrations on the 4 kids & parent for sexual gratification. His real reason for crossing the bridge was for exercise, and the bridge does indeed vibrate as people walk across it. These vibrations do pass through everyone (and the family) on the bridge. He also said he had no desire/intent for any sexual gratification nor arousal and that imagination he had was just a random thought as he approached and passed by the family. He never laid a hand on them, nor wielded an object to touch them.
2 questions
Does causing vibrations on the ground beneath count as 'touching'?
And did he violate any of the statues listed above in the title?
