State v. Sims The state presented sufficient evidence from which the jury could infer that defendant’s conduct was for the purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire: In three aisles at a Target store (1) defendant crouched down, looking at the juvenile’s legs; (2) defendant “fell into” the juvenile, wrapping his hands around her; and (3) defendant kneeled down, six to eight inches away from the juvenile’s legs. Another witness testified that defendant had complimented her legs, followed her into a store, and asked if he could hug her legs. Finally, Detective Benjamin testified that defendant admitted to having an obsession with women’s legs.
