The accusation could be made by a vindictive ex-spouse (imagine a bitter child custody conflict) or a rebellious older child (imagine defiant teen.) There's no end to malice such people could inflict, with such a vague law. "My dad touched my little sister!"

As the article notes, it will be of most use to prosecutors as a threat: you plead guilty to A or we haul you into court for B. Proscutorial discretion + ambiguous law = no end of hellish tyranny.
