Generally, when a person is charged with taking indecent liberties, the liberties must be taken in the physical presence of the child, but physical contact is not required. Exposing one's private parts to a child with sexual intent may constitute the crime. An indecent liberty may consist of communication of indecent language.

The following is an examle of a state statute dealing with taking indecent liberties:

"21-3503. Indecent liberties with a child.

(a) Indecent liberties with a child is engaging in any of the following acts with a child who is 14 or more years of age but less than 16 years of age:

  2. soliciting the child to engage in any lewd fondling or touching of the person of another with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the child, the offender or another.

(b) It shall be a defense to a prosecution of indecent liberties with a child as described in subsection (a)(1) that the child was married to the accused at the time of the offense.

(c) Indecent liberties with a child is a severity level 5, person felony."

What is aggravated indecent liberties with a minor?

You don't mention the state where the charges apply, so it's difficult to say specifically. "Indecent liberties" could include behavior ranging from improper touching of a minor in private or non-private areas, attempted or completed non-forcible sexual intercourse or other sexual penetration, "peeping tom" acts, or the deliberate exposure of a minor's private areas (as with pulling someone's swimsuit off). Aggravating factors could include involvement of a minor below a certain age, or a minor who was physically or developmentally disabled, furnishing the minor with alcohol or drugs to further the crime, or victimizing a minor in the accused's care. The specifics of these charges vary substantially from one state to another, both in their elements and in the way they are named.
