HUFFMAN, J.
A
petition was filed with the juvenile court under Welfare and
Institutions Code section 602 alleging that George F.
committed a lewd and lascivious act upon a child under the
age of 14 (Pen. Code, [1] § 288, subd. (a); count 1), and
that George willfully annoyed and molested a child under the
age of 18. (§ 647.6, subd. (a); count 2.) The People
offered to dismiss count 1 if George admitted to count 2.
George admitted to count 2 and the juvenile court found a
factual basis for that admission. The court then granted the
People's motion to dismiss count 1, declared George a
ward of the court, and ordered him to juvenile probation on
various terms and conditions.
George
appeals contending that the conditions of his probation
restricting his use of electronics or requiring the
submission of those electronics to search are (1) invalid
under People v. Lent (1975) 15 Cal.3d 481
(Lent) and (2) unconstitutionally overbroad. We
disagree.
FACTS
The
juvenile court found the following factual basis for
George's admission:
"[O]n
or about January 4th of 2014, George did willfully,
unlawfully annoy, [and] molest [a child], who was six years
old at the time by laying on top of her and kissing her, and
when he laid on top of her, he touched her with his body in
violation of Penal Code section 647.6(a), a
misdemeanor."
At
George's disposition hearing, the probation department
recommended the following probation conditions relevant to
this appeal:

material as defined by the California Code of Regulations,
title 15, section 3006, subdivisions (c)(1)(A).
