Sexual battery by an authority figure is illegal sexual contact with a minor (ages 13-17) or with a mentally disabled or helpless person of any age, when the person committing the crime is in a position of authority over the victim (such as a teacher, coach, employer, parent, or guardian) and uses that authority to force or manipulate the victim into the sexual contact. Conviction results in 3-15 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.

Penalty: Class C felony; 3-15 years; fine up to $10,000
