6 later decisions quote this exact passage““A person who molests a child under the age of fifteen years by fondling, playing with, or touching the private parts of such child or who causes a child under the age of fifteen years to fondle, .play with, or touch the private parts of such person shall be guilty of a felony,”

As we have said before, where a penal statute fails to expressly state a necessary element of intent or scienter, it may be implied....
