Turner, J. Pro Tern,
(dissenting) — A child need not be an *553exhibitionist or be posed to be a victim of sexual exploitation under RCW 9.68A.040 and .070. Covert filming of an innocent child’s genitalia may constitute an exhibition. See State v. Chester, 82 Wn. App. 422, 433, 918 P.2d 514 (1996) (Turner, J. dissenting). And if its purpose is sexual stimulation of a viewer, then it is punishable under these statutes. Here, the jury could infer sexual purpose from the covert camera operation and its focus on the girls’ genitalia, buttocks, and breasts.
Review denied at 133 Wn.2d 1018 (1997).
