Section 300, subdivision (d) authorizes jurisdiction where there is evidence of " a substantial risk that the child will be sexually abused, as defined in Section 11165.1 of the Penal Code, by his or her parent or guardian or a member of his or her household." As relevant here, Penal Code section 11165.1 defines " 'Sexual assault' " to include "child molestation" as set forth in Penal Code section 647.6. "Penal Code section 647.6, subdivision (a)(1) is violated when a defendant engages in the requisite annoying or offensive conduct, motivated by an unnatural or abnormal sexual interest in a specific child or children generally." (People v. Phillips (2010) 188 Cal.App.4th 1383, 1388.)
