Does the evidence need to be sufficient to establish that defendant displayed "harmful matter" to a minor?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from The People v. Vasquez, H034623, No. WF00305 (Cal. App. 2010):

offensive to minors as to preclude their access to them, we do not believe that any more evidence than what was presented in this case is necessary to establish that defendant displayed "harmful matter" to J. within the meaning of section 313.1, subdivision (a). After viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, as we must (People v. Rodriguez, supra, 20 Cal.4th at p. 11), we find that the evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction on count 3.
