Delagrange v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of four counts of felony attempted child exploitation for taking “upskirt” photographs of women and girls at a mall by means of a concealed shoe camera. The court of appeals reversed, concluding that Defendant did not violate the child exploitation statute, which requires that in order for a defendant to commit child exploitation, the child must “be exhibiting her uncovered genitals with the intent to satisfy someone’s sexual desires.” The Supreme Court granted transfer and affirmed the trial court, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant’s convictions for attempted child exploitation because, in light of the circumstantial evidence, the jury could reasonably infer that Defendant intended to capture not just images of undergarments but also images of uncovered genitals.
