Cal. Penal Code § 13885.15 — Statewide Sexual Predator Apprehension Team is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) The special agent teams established pursuant to Section 13885.1 shall also take a proactive role in the investigation and prosecution of preferential child molesters and sexual exploiters.
(b) For purposes of this section, “preferential child molester” means a person whose primary sex drive is directed toward children. A preferential child molester is distinguished from a situational child molester, who will use children sexually in times of stress because of a lack of impulse control or as a result of circumstances.
