- Possession or Promotion of Child Pornography: Involves knowingly possessing, producing, distributing, or promoting material that depicts a child under 18 engaged in sexual conduct.
- Prostitution and Solicitation: Offering or agreeing to engage in sexual conduct for a fee or soliciting another in a public place to engage in sexual conduct for hire.
- Sexual Assault: Defined as intentionally or knowingly causing penetration of another person's sexual organ without their consent.
