Category 3: Deviant Sexual Interests this may appear in the criminal record where charges for a contact offence are dropped and the non-contact charges appear simultaneously with a guilty plea. In this case the offence would not be a sentencing occasion for a non-contact sex offence. If a “lifer,” Dangerous Offender, or other offender with an already imposed indeterminate sentence is simply revoked (returned to prison from conditional release in the community without trial) for a non-contact sexual offence that is of sufficient gravity that a person not already involved with the criminal justice system would most likely be charged with a non-contact sexual offence, this revocation of conditional release would count as a sentencing occasion for a non-contact sexual offence. Note: the evaluator should be confident that were this offender not already under sanction that it is highly likely that a non-contact sexual offence charge would be laid by police and a conviction would be likely. 46
Category 3: Deviant Sexual Interests Special Coding Issues for the Victim Items (ITEMS 6 – 9) The following four items concern victim characteristics: "Any Male Victim" (Item 6); "Young, Unrelated Victims" (Item 7); "Any Unrelated Victim" (Item 8); and "Any Stranger Victim" (Item 9). "Any Male Victim" and "Young, Unrelated Victims" are coded under the category “Deviant Sexual Interests” while "Any Unrelated Victim" and "Any Stranger Victim" are coded under the category “Relationship to Victims.” For these four items the scoring is based on all available credible information, including self-report, (alleged) victim accounts, and collateral contacts. The items concerning victim characteristics, however, only apply to sex offences in which the victims were children or non-consenting adults (Category “A” sex offences). For these four items, do not score victim information from non-sexual offences or from sex offences related to prostitution/pandering, possession of child pornography, and public sex with consenting adults (Category “B” sex offences). The only exception is that victims of not disclosing HIV-positive status (a category “B” offence) can also be counted. Do not score victim information on sexual offences against animals (bestiality and similar charges). In addition to all of the more common sexual offences (sexual assault, rape, invitation to sexual touching, buggery) you also score victim information on the following charges: Illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material/performance Importuning (soliciting for immoral purposes) Indecent exposure (when a specific victim has been identified) Sexually harassing telephone calls Voyeurism (when a specific victim has been identified) You do not score victim information on the following charges: Compelling acceptance of objectionable material Deception to obtain matter harmful to juveniles Disseminating/displaying matter harmful to juveniles Offences against animals Pandering obscenity Pandering obscenity involving a minor Pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor Prostitution related offences “Accidental Victims” Occasionally there are “accidental victims” to a sexual offence. An example of this occurred when an offender was raping a woman in her living room. The noise awoke the victim’s four-year-old son. The son wandered into the living 47
