A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual
intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under 18 years of age.
Current law classifies sexual conduct with a minor of at least 15 years of age as a class 6 felony.
If the sexual conduct occurred between a minor and an adult in a position of trust, then the offense
is classified as a class 2 felony. Sexual conduct with a minor under the age of 15 is classified as
a class 2 felony (A.R.S. § 13-1405).
