Clause 20 - Abuse of position of trust: sexual activity in the presence of a child
Sexual Offences Bill [Lords]
3:00 pm
Mr Paul Goggins (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; Wythenshawe and Sale East, Labour)
We keep returning to the definition of the word ''sexual'' or, in this context, ''sexual gratification''. For the purposes of the amendment, the important point is that the ''sexual gratification'', however that is finally defined, is gained from engaging in the act in the presence of the child in relation to whom the adult has a position of trust. That is the key point.
