An offense under Sexual Performance by a Child is a first-degree felony if the victim is younger than 14 years. Which age determines this threshold?

• A. Younger than 14
• B. Younger than 18
• C. 14 or older
• D. Under 16

Answer: (A)

This question tests how the statute uses the victim’s age to determine the severity of the offense. For Sexual Performance by a Child, the act is a first-degree felony when the victim is younger than 14, meaning someone 13 or younger. If the victim is 14 or older, this threshold isn’t met and the charge would be governed by a different provision or degree. So the determining age is younger than 14.
