This is one of those instances where LawGuru, a public forum does not work for giving advice. Your question has to do with contemplatd behavior which may lead to a criminal act, or may not lead to a criminal act. You are correct to ask the question and to seek proper legal advice. But not here. You need to personally see an attorney to ask this question and to get legal advice. Sexucal abuse of a minor is defined under Iowa Code Chapter 709. The section that seems most applicable to your situation is 709.4(c)(4). Go to the nearest legal aid office and ask them for an explanation of your rights. You might also go to the nearest library beofe seeing an attorney, and read that Code section as well.
