NOTE ON USE
Use this instruction if it will help the jury understand the charged offense or if it is necessary to define this particular offense for the jury. Use bracketed material as applicable.
With this instruction, use WPIC 47.09 (Minor—Definition) and WPIC 48.12 (Sexual Conduct—Definition).
COMMENT
RCW 9.68A.100. The statute was revised effective July 23, 2017, to replace “fee” with “anything of value,” which should be used for offenses committed after that date. Use of the instruction for offenses before that date should use “fee.” Given that the statute of limitations is 10 years or the victim's 30th birthday, whichever is later, “fee” remains a bracketed option. See RCW 9A.04.080(1) (statute of limitations).
