Summary

Penal Code section 288.5 prohibits sexual abuse of a child by a person living with or having “recurring access” to the child. The term “recurring access” is not a technical one which requires a sua sponte clarifying instruction. Its common meaning is an ongoing ability to approach and contact someone time after time.
