In re Kyle A.
Annotate this CaseAfter an adjudication, Respondent was found delinquent for engaging in second-degree child molestation sexual assault. At the conclusion of a sentencing hearing, the family court ordered that Respondent register as a sex offender. Respondent appealed, arguing that legally sufficient evidence did not exist to support the finding that he was delinquent because his actions were motivated by sexual arousal or gratification. The Supreme Court affirmed the adjudication of the family court, holding that there was sufficient evidence to support the trial justice’s finding that Respondent touched the complainant for the purposes of sexual gratification.
