The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Redhouse, 916 F.2d 717 (9th Cir. 1990):
The district court did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on abusive sexual contact. Abusive sexual contact is not a lesser-included offense of either aggravated sexual abuse or sexual abuse of a minor. See United States v. Sneezer, 900 F.2d 177, 179 (9th Cir.1990). Abusive sexual contact requires proof of a specific intent not required for either aggravated sexual abuse or sexual abuse of a minor. See id.
