COMMENT
RCW 9.68A.101(3)(b). The statute was revised effective July 23, 2017, to replace “other property” with “anything of value.” The instruction should use the language in effect at the time of the offense, i.e., before or after July 23, 2017. The statute of limitations for commercial sexual abuse of a minor is 10 years or the victim's 30th birthday, whichever is later. See RCW 9A.04.080(1) (statute of limitations).
