State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that juvenile touched the victim's intimate parts with sexual or aggressive intent, and, therefore, evidence was insufficient to sustain juvenile's delin ... quency adjudication for second-degree criminal sexual conduct. According to the victim's testimony, juvenile momentarily touched her clothing over her private part, but his hand did not move, and he said nothing. District court's sole finding on the element of sexual intent, that the act was more likely the act of an inquisitive adolescent, did not meet the weighty standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. M.S.A. § 609.343.
