Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted proposed changes to the standard jury instructions and asks that the Court authorize the amended standard instructions for publication and use. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Committee proposes amending standard criminal jury instructions 11.7 (Unlawful Sexual Activity with Certain Minors), 11.10 (Lewd, Lascivious, Indecent Assault or Act Upon or in the Presence of Child; Sexual Battery), 11.10(a) (Lewd or Lascivious Battery (Engaging in Sexual Activity) ), 11.10(b) (Lewd or Lascivious Battery (Encouraging, Forcing or Enticing) ), 11.10(c) (Lewd or Lascivious Molestation), 11.10(d) (Lewd or Lascivious Conduct), 11.10(e) (Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition Presence of Child), 11.10(f) (Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition Over Computer Service), 11.10(g) (Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition by a Detainee in the Presence of an Employee of a Facility), 11.11 (Lewd or Lascivious Offenses Committed Upon or in the Presence of an Elderly Person or Disabled Person), 11.12 (Incest), 11.18 (Sexual Misconduct by a Psychotherapist), 11.21 (Transmission of Material Harmful to Minors by Electronic Device or Equipment), and 29.13(c) (Sexual Activity with an Animal). All of the proposals were published in The Florida Bar News. No comments were received by the Committee.

We authorize for publication and use instructions 11.7, 11.10(b), 11.10(c), 11.10(d), 11.10(e), 11.10(f), 11.10(g), 11.18, *371 and 11.21 as proposed. Instruction 11.10(a) is authorized for publication and use as set forth in Appendix A to the Committee's report, rather than as described in the report. Instructions 11.10, 11.11, 11.12, and 29.13(c) are authorized for publication and use as modified. The more significant amendments to the instructions are discussed below.

First, the following changes are common with regard to many of the instructions.

Instructions 11.10, 11.10(a), 11.10(b), 11.10(c), and 11.10(d) as authorized reverse the order of the elements pertaining to the victim's and/or the defendant's ages and the defendant's conduct, so that the defendant's conduct is listed first in order.

The offense of Unnatural and Lascivious Act is added to the table of lesser-included offenses as a Category Two lesser offense to instructions 11.7, 11.10(f), 11.18, and 29.13, and a new comment based in part upon State v. Knighton , 235 So.3d 312 (Fla. 2018), modifies that lesser-included offense, as follows:

The courts do not require the State to allege the defendant's act was "unnatural" or "against the laws of nature" in order for § 800.02, Fla. Stat., to be given as a lesser-included offense. If the sexual activity involved penile-vaginal sexual intercourse (or contact), § 800.02, Fla. Stat. should not be given as a lesser-included offense. However, if the sexual activity involved something other than penile-vaginal sexual intercourse (or contact), § 800.02, Fla. Stat. should be given as a lesser-included offense. See State v. Knighton , 235 So.3d 312 (Fla. 2018). ^[ 1 ^]

Definitions for "bona fide" and "union" are added to the instructions as applicable, and the term "enhancement" is replaced by "reclassification" in instructions 11.7, 11.10(a), 11.10(b), 11.10(c), 11.10(d), 11.10(e), 11.11, and 11.21, because section 775.0862, Florida Statutes (2018), is a reclassification statute.

Lastly, in instructions 11.10(e), 11.10(g), and 11.11, the statutory definitions for "sadomasochistic abuse" and "sexual bestiality" are changed from those in sections 847.001(13) and 847.001(15), Florida Statutes (2018), respectively, to those in sections 827.071(e) and 827.071(g), Florida Statutes (2018), respectively, and the following new comment is added: "There are statutory definitions of 'sadomasochistic abuse' and 'sexual bestiality' in § 847.001, Fla. Stat., that differ from the statutory definitions in § 827.071, Fla. Stat. As of June 2018, there is no case law that decides which definition applies for a violation of [§ 800.04(7)(a), § 800.09, or § 825.1025, as applicable], Fla. Stat."

Turning to the individual instructions, the following additional changes are made.

We clarify that instruction 11.10 applies only to offenses committed prior to October 1, 1999.

In addition, we authorize instruction 11.10(a) as set out in the Committee's Appendix A to its report, leaving the offense of Unnatural and Lascivious Act as a Category Two lesser-included offense rather than moving it to the Category One box as discussed in the report.

In instruction 11.10(b), the statutory citations for "sadomasochistic abuse" and "sexual bestiality," sections 847.001(13) and 847.001(15), respectively, are removed, leaving the citations to sections 827.071(e) and 827.071(g), respectively. In addition, the comment added to instructions *372 11.10(e), 11.10(g), and 11.11 as set forth above, addressing section 847.001 statutory definitions, is also included in instruction 11.10(b).

The table of lesser-included offenses is updated in instruction 11.10(c) to reflect in the heading the primary offense of Lewd or Lascivious Molestation-Defendant 18 or Over; Victim Less Than 12, and that Lewd or Lascivious Molestation based upon the ages of the victim and/or the defendant are Category One lesser-included offenses, similar to the table of lesser-included offenses in instruction 11.1 (Sexual Battery-Victim Less Than 12 Years of Age).

Instruction 11.11, element three, pertaining to the defendant's knowledge, is modified to provide "at the time of the offense," which is consistent with instructions 11.10(a), 11.10(b), 11.10(c), 11.10(d), 11.10(e), and 11.10(f).

With regard to instruction 11.12, the table of lesser-included offenses is modified from the Committee's proposal to reflect that Unnatural and Lascivious Act is a Category Two lesser offense and includes the corresponding comment described above.

Definitions for "prurient interest" and "morbid interest" have been added to instruction 11.21, and are the same definitions for those terms already provided in instructions 24.1-24.6, the obscenity-related instructions.

Last, we decline the Committee's request that instruction 29.13(c) be authorized to include Unnatural and Lascivious Act as a Category One lesser-included offense, as that presents a matter of substantive law to be decided in a case or controversy, and to date it does not appear that that issue has expressly been addressed. See art. V, § 3(b), Fla. Const.; cf. In re Std. Jury Instr. in Crim. Cases-Report No. 2015-05 , 195 So. 3d 1088 , 1089 (Fla. 2016) (stating that the issue of the constitutionality of a statutory provision that an instruction is based upon is beyond the scope of a jury instruction case).

Having considered the Committee's report, we authorize the amended instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, for publication and use. 2 New language is indicated by underlining, and deleted language is indicated by struck-through type. We caution all interested parties that any comments associated with the instructions reflect only the opinion of the Committee and are not necessarily indicative of the views of this Court as to their correctness or applicability. In authorizing the publication and use of these instructions, we express no opinion on their correctness and remind all interested parties that this authorization forecloses neither requesting additional or alternative instructions nor contesting the legal correctness of the instructions. The instructions as set forth in the appendix shall become effective when this opinion becomes final.

It is so ordered.

d. (Defendant) knowingly committed a lewd or lascivious act in the presence of (victim).

2. At the time, (victim) was under the age of 16 years.

Definitions.

Give in all cases.

Neither the victim's (victim's) lack of chastity nor the victim's (victim's) consent is a defense to the crime charged.

Give when pre-October 1, 1999 § 800.04(1), Fla. Stat., is charged.

As used in regard to this offense, the words "lewd," "lascivious," and "indecent" mean the same thing : . They mean a wicked, lustful, unchaste, licentious, or sensual intent on the part of the person doing an act.

Give when assault is charged under pre-October 1, 1999 § 800.04(1), Fla. Stat.

An "assault" is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.

*377 Give when pre-October 1, 1999 § 800.04(4), Fla. Stat., is charged.

As used in regard to this offense the words "lewd" and "lascivious" mean the same thing : and mean a wicked, lustful, unchaste, licentious, or sensual intent on the part of the person doing an act.

Give applicable definitions from § 847.001, Fla. Stat., when pre-October 1, 1999 § 800.04(2), Fla. Stat., is charged.

There is no need to make reference to the words "without committing the crime of sexual battery" because this refers to forcible sexual relations. Lanier v. State, 443 So.2d 178 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983); Chapters 84 86, Laws of Florida.

Comment s

^* The courts do not require the State to allege the defendant's act was "unnatural" or "against the laws of nature" in order for § 800.02, Fla. Stat., to be given as a lesser-included offense. If the sexual activity involved penile-vaginal sexual intercourse (or contact), § 800.02, Fla. Stat. should not be given as a lesser-included offense. However, if the sexual activity involved something other than *378 penile-vaginal sexual intercourse (or contact), § 800.02, Fla. Stat. should be given as a lesser-included offense. See State v. Knighton, 235 So.3d 312 (Fla. 2018).

^* Because the crime of Unnatural and Lascivious Act (§ 800.02, Fla. Stat.) requires the defendant's act be "with another person," it should not be given as a lesser-included offense if the only evidence is that the defendant committed a lewd or lascivious act in the presence of the victim (element #1d).

This instruction was adopted in 1981 and was amended in 1985 [ 477 So.2d 985 ], 1987 [ 508 So.2d 1221 ], 1992 [ 603 So.2d 1175 ], 1995 [ 657 So.2d 1152 ], 2008 [ 976 So.2d 1081 ], and 2010 [ 48 So.3d 41 ], and 2018.

11.10(a) LEWD OR LASCIVIOUS BATTERY (ENGAGING IN SEXUAL ACTIVITY)

b. [committed an act [upon] [with] (victim) in which the [anus] [vagina] of [(victim)] [(defendant)] was penetrated by an object.] The definition of an object includes a finger.

2. At the time of the offense, (victim) was 12 years of age or older, but less than 16 years of age.

Definitions. Give if applicable.

*379 "An object" includes a finger.

§ 800.04(1)(a), Fla. Stat.

However, any act done for bona fide medical purposes is not a lewd or lascivious battery.

§ 800.04(2), Fla. Stat.

Neither (victim's) lack of chastity nor (victim's) consent is a defense to the crime charged.

§ 800.04(3), Fla. Stat.

The defendant's ignorance of (victim's) age, (victim's) misrepresentation of [his] [her] age, or the defendant's bona fide belief of (victim's) age is not a defense to the crime charged.

Enhancement Reclassification for sexual offense against student by school authority figure.

If you find that (defendant) committed the crime of Lewd or Lascivious Battery, you must also determine whether the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that (defendant) was an authority figure at a school and (victim) was a student at the same school.

"Authority figure" means a person 18 years of age or older who is employed by, volunteering at, or under contract with a school.

"School" means an organization of students for instructional purposes on an elementary, middle or junior high school, secondary or high school, [or other public school level authorized under the rules of the State Board of Education]. The term "school" does not include facilities dedicated exclusively to the education of adults. If needed, insert appropriate definitions from § 775.0862(1)(b), Fla.

In 2014, the legislature created a lewd and lascivious battery classified as a first degree felony if the defendant was 18 years of age or older at the time of the crime and had a prior conviction for an enumerated crime. See § 800.04(4)(c), Fla. Stat. If this enhancement is charged, it is likely that Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000) requires the jury to make at least one additional finding regarding the defendant's age.

^* The courts do not require the State to allege the defendant's act was "unnatural" or "against the laws of nature" in order for § 800.02, Fla. Stat., to be given as a lesser-included offense. If the sexual activity involved penile-vaginal *388 sexual intercourse (or contact), § 800.02, Fla. Stat. should not be given as a lesser-included offense. However, if the sexual activity involved something other than penile-vaginal sexual intercourse (or contact), § 800.02, Fla. Stat. should be given as a lesser-included offense. See State v.

If the ages of either the defendant or the alleged victim are not in dispute, the parties may agree to pare down the necessary lesser-included offenses.

In 2014, the legislature created a lewd and lascivious molestation classified as a first degree felony depending on the ages of the defendant and victim and whether the defendant had a prior conviction for an enumerated crime. If this enhancement is charged, Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000) may require the jury to make additional findings regarding the prior qualifying conviction and/or the age of the victim involved. See § 800.04(5)(e), Fla. Stat.

Knighton, 235 So.3d 312 (Fla. 2018).

*404 § 825.1025, Fla. Stat. , protects a "disabled person" (age unspecific) while § 825.101, Fla. Stat. , defines a "disabled adult" (18 years of age or older). The discrepancy between the two terms has yet to be clarified.
