(b)the activity is sexual; and
(c)another person (B) sees the activity or a part of the activity; and
(d)A knows that B will see, or will probably see, the activity or a part of the activity; and
(e)A—

(ii)knows that B will experience, or will probably experience, fear or distress from seeing the activity or a part of the activity.
