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.

Following publication of its proposals in The Florida Bar News, on December 27, 2012, the Committee filed its report in this case, proposing amendments to the standard criminal jury instructions. The Committee received comments from two assistant public defenders and the Florida Public Defender Association. The Committee declined to change its proposals upon review of the comments. Having considered the Committee’s report and the comments received by the Committee, we authorize for publication and use the following amended and new instructions as proposed by the Committee: 11.13 (Voyeurism); 11.13(a)-(b) (Video Voyeurism); 11.13(c)-(d) (Video Voyeurism Dissemination); 11.13(e)-(g) (Commercial Video Voyeurism); 11.13(h) (Voyeurism Involving Certain Aged Minors or Defendants); 11.17(a) (Soliciting for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices); 11.17(b) (Soliciting Parent, Legal Guardian, or Custodian of a Child for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices); 11.17(c) (Traveling to Meet a Minor); 11.17(d) (Traveling to Meet a Minor Facilitated by a Parent, Legal Guardian, or Custodian); 13.5 (Trespass on School Property with a Firearm/Weapon); 15.1 (Robbery); 15.3 (Home-Invasion Robbery); 16.1 (Aggravated Child Abuse); 16.2 [Reserved]; 16.3 (Child Abuse); and 16.5-16.6 (Neglect of a Child).1

We authorize for publication and use amended instructions 15.2 (Carjacking) and 15.4 (Robbery by Sudden Snatching) as proposed by the Committee, but with one minor modification: we include the definition of “weapon” that is included in instructions 15.1 (Robbery) and 15.3 (Home-Invasion Robbery).

The new and amended instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are authorized for publication and use.2 [264]*264New language is indicated by underlining and deleted language is indicated by struck-through type. 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. We further 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. The instructions as set forth in the appendix shall be effective when this opinion becomes final.

It is so ordered.

POLSTON, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.

APPENDIX

11.13 VOYEURISM

§ 810.14, Fla. Stat.

To prove the crime of Voyeurism, the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. (Defendant) secretly [observed] (victim).
2. The (act alleged) was done with a [lewd] [lascivious] [indecent] intent.
3. When (victim) was observed [he] [she] was in a [dwelling] [structure] [conveyance] in which [he][she] had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The words lewd, lascivious, and indecent mean the same thing:* a wicked, lustful, unchaste, licentious, or sensual intent on the part of the person doing the act.

Definitions. Give as applicable. Jacobs v. State, 41 So.3d 1004 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010).

“Dwelling” means a building [or conveyance] of any kind, including any attached porch [or attached garage], whether such building [or conveyance] is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, together with the enclosed space of ground and outbuildings immediately surrounding it. The enclosure need not be continuous and may have an opening for entering and exiting.
Jacobs v. State, 41 So.3d 1004 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010).
“Structure” means any kind of building, either temporary or permanent, that has a roof over it, together with the enclosed space of ground and outbuildings immediately surrounding it. The enclosure need not be continuous and may have an opening for entering and exiting.
“Conveyance” means any motor vehicle, ship, vessel, railroad car, trailer, aircraft or sleeping car.

Comments

It is error to inform the jury of a prior conviction before a determination of guilt of the charged offense. Therefore, do not read the allegation of prior conviction or send the information or indictment into the jury room. If the defendant is convicted of the current charge, the historical fact of a previous conviction shall be determined beyond a reasonable doubt by the jury in a bifurcated proceeding. State v. Harbaugh, 754 So.2d 691 (Fla.2000).

This instruction was adopted in 2000 [765 So.2d 692], and amended in 2008 [982 So.2d 1160] and 2013.

11.13(a) VIDEO VOYEURISM

§ 810.145(2)(a) or (b), Fla. Stat.

To prove the crime of Video Voyeurism, the State must prove the following four five elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. (Defendant)
a. intentionally [used] [or] [installed] an imaging device to secretly [view] [broadcast] [or] [record] (victim) for [his][her] own [amusement] [entertainment] [sexual arousal] [gratification] [or] [profit] [or] [for the purpose of degrading or abusing (victim) ].
b. intentionally permitted [the use] [or] [installation] of an imaging device to secretly [view] [broadcast] [or] [record] (victim) for the [amusement] [entertainment] [sexual arousal] [gratification] [or] [profit] [of another or on behalf of another].
2. (Victim) was thereby [viewed] [broadcast] [or] [recorded] at a time when the (victim) was [dressing] [undressing] [or] [privately exposing [his][her] body].
