The Georgia Court of Appeals recently clarified the legal definition of child molestation and what constitutes being “in the presence of” a victim under O.C.G.A. § 16-6-4.

In this case, Jason Prophitt was convicted in Echols Superior Court after spying on his daughter’s friend through a floor vent while she showered. The court found him guilty of child molestation, citing his indecent act involving a minor.
