James Neil Todd v. the State of Wyoming

Summary

The Wyoming Supreme Court affirmed Todd’s conviction for attempted sexual exploitation of a child, holding that the evidence supported a finding that he took a substantial step toward enticing the child to engage in masturbation, which is explicit sexual conduct under the statute. The court also held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to define “lascivious” because the term has no statutory technical meaning and may be given its ordinary meaning. No separate opinions were filed.
