Contact or association with persons under 16 for breach of the home detention condition is established where the defendant is consciously aware of the presence of children in circumstances giving rise to unsupervised contact; physical touching or intent to arrange contact is not required. The appellant was aware children were present, had not secured approval for a supervising adult, and did not establish a reasonable excuse, so the conviction was upheld.
