What Constitutes Child Sexual Abuse in Texas?
Unlike many states, Texas does not have one single law covering all forms of sexual activity with minors. Instead, the Texas Penal Code breaks down child sex abuse into multiple offenses, which vary based on the specific actions involved, the age of the alleged victim, and other circumstances. Common charges include:
Sexual Assault of a Child – Involves penetration or genital contact with a minor, including cases often referred to as statutory rape.
Indecency with a Child – Includes non-penetrative sexual contact or exposing genitals for sexual gratification.
Compelling Prostitution – Forcing or causing a minor to engage in prostitution.
Child Trafficking – Recruiting, transporting, or harboring a child for illegal purposes, often linked with sexual abuse.
Sexual Performance by a Child – Creating or participating in any form of media or live sexual display involving a child.
Other serious related offenses include aggravated kidnapping or burglary with intent to sexually harm, and continuous sexual abuse of a young child, which is a first-degree felony punishable by 25 years to life in prison without parole.
