Which statement describes an element of Third Degree Sexual Assault?

• A. Sexual Intercourse Without Consent.
• B. Class G Felony.
• C. Sexual Contact Without Consent.
• D. Involves Intoxicating Substances Used Without the Victim's Knowledge.

Answer: (C)

The core idea here is what the statute identifies as the prohibited conduct for third degree sexual assault. This offense is defined by non-consensual sexual contact, not by intercourse or by punishment level. So the element described is sexual contact without consent. Intercourse would implicate a different degree of sexual assault, and the other options refer to classification or to circumstances that aren’t the defining element of third degree sexual assault. Sexual contact without consent captures the specific act the statute targets.
