    Petitioner.                     )
    LAWRENCE-BERREY, C.J. — Casey Dullea Peppin seeks relief from personal
    restraint imposed in his 2013 bench trial convictions of three counts of first degree
    possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. We affirmed
    Mr. Peppin’s judgment and sentence in State v. Peppin, 
    186 Wash. App. 901
    , 
    347 P.3d 906
    (2015).
    In this timely personal restraint petition (PRP), he contends (1) he received
    ineffective assistance of counsel, (2) the Department of Corrections (DOC) illegally
    denied him a housing voucher and earned early release because he has a disability, (3) the
    trial court used an erroneous offender score to determine the standard range for his
    sentence, and (4) many of his conditions of community custody are not crime related, are
    unconstitutionally vague, or are subject to arbitrary enforcement. We agree that some of
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    his community custody conditions are unconstitutional and grant his petition to that
    extent.
    FACTS
    The background facts were set forth in Mr. Peppin’s direct appeal, State v. Peppin,
    
    186 Wash. App. 901
    . We summarize the facts and procedure to the extent necessary to
    address the issues Mr. Peppin raises in this PRP.
    Summary of facts and trial
    On December 29, 2011, Detective Brian Cestnik conducted an online investigation
    of the Gnutella network to identify persons possessing and sharing child pornography.
    Detective Cestnik used special software called Round Up version 1.5.3. This special
    software has capabilities not typically available to the public: it can restrict searches to a
    certain geographical area, it can identify the target computer’s Internet protocol (IP)
    address, and it can identify files by their hash values, which act as unique fingerprints.
    During his search, Detective Cestnik identified a computer in the Spokane area
    sharing files known by their hash value to be child pornography. Detective Cestnik
    downloaded three of those files from the shared folder of that computer and began
    downloading a fourth before the connection failed. Detective Cestnik further investigated
    2
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    and determined that the fully downloaded files were indeed child pornography, and the
    computer and IP address belonged to Mr. Peppin.
    Detective Cestnik applied for a search warrant and in his accompanying affidavit,
    he described peer-to-peer file sharing, his search, and his full knowledge of the additional
    capabilities of Round Up described above. A search warrant issued, and law enforcement
    executed a search of Mr. Peppin’s home on January 11, 2012.
    Mr. Peppin was present during the search. He admitted that he had child
    pornography on his computer and explained that he tried to keep the files out of his
    shared folder by moving them to another folder on his desktop.
    Later, law enforcement created a mirror image of Mr. Peppin’s hard drive and
    confirmed that the three files originally found and downloaded by Detective Cestnik
    existed in the shared folder. In addition, law enforcement found over 100 new images of
    child pornography in the other folder on his desktop.
    The State charged Mr. Peppin by amended information with three counts of first
    degree possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and one
    count of first degree dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
    Mr. Peppin’s computer expert testified that the default settings of the program
    were confusing and the default settings allowed sharing for public browsing. Mr. Peppin
    3
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    argued he did not knowingly share any files, and that he should not be convicted on the
    more serious charge of dealing in depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit
    conduct. The trial court agreed and acquitted him of that charge. The trial court found
    Mr. Peppin guilty on the three less serious charges of possession of depictions of minors
    engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
    Custody and DOC policy regarding release and housing vouchers
    DOC policy is that an offender not in compliance with the facility rules or the
    offender’s facility plan is ineligible for housing vouchers. DOC policy also requires an
    offender sentenced to community custody to identify an appropriate residence for his or
    her community custody plan. DOC’s role is to provide information and resources to
    facilitate the offender’s timely identification of appropriate resources in the community.
    Several months before Mr. Peppin’s early release date, DOC advised Mr. Peppin
    of the importance of transition programming. DOC instructed him to contact his assigned
    counselor with release address information. On September 30, 2015, Mr. Peppin sent a
    message to DOC stating that he had no resources and would need a housing voucher for
    release.
    On May 15, 2016, Mr. Peppin sent a message to the DOC asking why he had been
    denied a housing voucher. The DOC responded that his custody facility plan requires that
    4
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    he complete “Achieving Your Potential” (AYP) in order to explore the housing voucher
    program. The DOC’s headquarters requested that Mr. Peppin be given the opportunity to
    attend an AYP course. When officers went to retrieve him for the course, Mr. Peppin
    refused to come out and told the officer he would not attend. He received an infraction
    for failure to participate in required programming. Mr. Peppin explicitly stated that he
    would not complete AYP. As of February 27, 2017, Mr. Peppin had not completed either
    AYP or a release plan.
    PRP materials
    As part of Mr. Peppin’s petition, he included a letter from his trial counsel. The
    letter states in part: “As I recall our conversations, you mentioned you usually kept your
    [upload] settings on zero.” Motion to Amend Pers. Restraint Pet., Letter Attach. dated
    May 31, 2017. Trial counsel also confirmed that he did not request a mirror image copy
    of Mr. Peppin’s hard drive or a copy of the source code for the software used by
    Detective Cestnik.
    Regardless of Mr. Peppin’s challenges obtaining early release and housing
    assistance, he now has been released and is in community custody.

    ANALYSIS
    A.     STANDARD OF REVIEW
    “Relief by way of a collateral challenge to a conviction is extraordinary, and the
    petitioner must meet a high standard before [the] court will disturb an otherwise settled
    judgment.” In re Pers. Restraint of Coats, 
    173 Wash. 2d 123
    , 132, 
    267 P.3d 324
    (2011).
    Relief will only be granted in a PRP if there is constitutional error that caused actual and
    substantial prejudice or if a nonconstitutional error resulted in a fundamental defect
    constituting a complete miscarriage of justice. In re Pers. Restraint of Woods, 
    154 Wash. 2d 400
    , 409, 
    114 P.3d 607
    (2005). It is the petitioner’s burden to establish this “threshold
    requirement.” 
    Id. To do
    so, a petition must present competent evidence in support of its
    claims. In re Pers. Restraint of Rice, 
    118 Wash. 2d 876
    , 885-86, 
    828 P.2d 1086
    (1992). If
    the facts alleged would potentially entitle the petitioner to relief, a reference hearing may
    be ordered to resolve the factual allegations. 
    Id. at 886-87.
    As for the evidentiary prerequisite, we view it as enabling courts to
    avoid the time and expense of a reference hearing when the petition, though
    facially adequate, has no apparent basis in provable fact. In other words, the
    purpose of a reference hearing is to resolve genuine factual disputes, not to
    determine whether the petition actually has evidence to support his
    allegations. Thus, a mere statement of evidence that the petitioner believes
    will prove his factual allegations is not sufficient. If the petitioner’s
    allegations are based on matters outside the existing record, the petition
    must demonstrate that he has competent, admissible evidence to establish
    the facts that entitle him to relief. If the petitioner’s evidence is based on
    6
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    knowledge in the possession of others, he may not simply state what he
    thinks those others would say, but must present their affidavits or other
    corroborative evidence. The affidavits, in turn, must contain matters to
    which the affiants may competently testify. In short, the petitioner must
    present evidence showing that his factual allegations are based on more
    than speculation, conjecture, or inadmissible hearsay.
    
    Id. at 886.
    A petitioner may not rely on conclusory allegations, but must show with a
    preponderance of competent, admissible evidence that the error caused him prejudice. In
    re Pers. Restraint of Ruiz-Sanabria, 
    184 Wash. 2d 632
    , 636, 
    362 P.3d 758
    (2015); In re
    Pers. Restraint of Lord, 
    152 Wash. 2d 182
    , 188, 
    94 P.3d 952
    (2004). This court can
    disregard a defendant’s self-serving assertions included in a PRP. See In re Pers.
    Restraint of Yates, 
    180 Wash. 2d 33
    , 43, 
    321 P.3d 1195
    (2014) (Stephens, J., concurring)
    (“[W]e need not accept at face value Yates’s self-serving statement, made years after the
    fact . . . .”).
    B.       INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL CLAIM
    Mr. Peppin contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate
    his claim that his upload slots were set to zero so that downloaded files in his file sharing
    folder could not be viewed by the public. He further contends that he did not have any
    files in his shared folder and that Detective Cestnik’s software must have been able to
    unlawfully peer into his private folder.
    7
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    Related to these arguments, he contends his trial counsel was ineffective for failing
    to request a mirror image copy of his computer hard drive and for failing to request the
    source code for the software program used by Detective Cestnik. He contends these items
    would have enabled him to establish the unlawfulness of the police search.
    A defendant has a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. In re
    Pers. Restraint of Elmore, 
    162 Wash. 2d 236
    , 251, 
    172 P.3d 335
    (2007) (citing Strickland v.
    Washington, 
    466 U.S. 668
    , 687, 
    104 S. Ct. 2052
    , 
    80 L. Ed. 2d 674
    (1984)). A convicted
    defendant seeking relief from personal restraint on a claim of ineffective assistance of
    counsel is not required to show actual and substantial prejudice if the defendant has not
    had a prior opportunity to appeal the issue to a disinterested judge; instead, he need only
    show that he is unlawfully restrained, and establish the elements of his ineffective
    assistance of counsel claim. State v. Sandoval, 
    171 Wash. 2d 163
    , 168, 
    249 P.3d 1015
    (2011); In re Pers. Restraint of Grantham, 
    168 Wash. 2d 204
    , 214, 
    227 P.3d 285
    (2010).
    To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance, Mr. Peppin must show that his
    counsel’s performance fell below an objective standard of reasonableness and that the
    deficient performance actually prejudiced him. In re Pers. Restraint of Morris, 
    176 Wash. 2d 157
    , 166, 
    288 P.3d 1140
    (2012). This court strongly presumes that defense
    counsel’s trial decisions constituted sound strategy. 
    Elmore, 162 Wash. 2d at 252
    .
    8
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    1.     Failure to investigate claim that upload slots were set to zero
    The failure to investigate, if prejudicial, can amount to ineffective assistance of
    counsel. State v. A.N.J., 
    168 Wash. 2d 91
    , 110, 
    225 P.3d 956
    (2010). A petitioner claiming
    failure to investigate must show a reasonable likelihood that the investigation would have
    produced new information useful to the defense. In re Pers. Restraint of Davis, 
    152 Wash. 2d 647
    , 739, 
    101 P.3d 1
    (2004). In evaluating prejudice, this court considers the
    strength of the State’s case. 
    Id. In order
    to succeed on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, Mr. Peppin
    must demonstrate that the result of the proceedings would have been different absent the
    claimed ineffective assistance. In this case, Mr. Peppin must demonstrate the trial court
    would have invalidated the search warrants obtained by Detective Cestnik and the fruits
    of those searches. The record is insufficient for him to make that showing.
    Once issued, a search warrant is entitled to a presumption of validity, and the court
    will give great deference to the magistrate’s determination of probable cause and resolve
    any doubts in favor of the warrant. State v. Chenoweth, 
    160 Wash. 2d 454
    , 477, 
    158 P.3d 595
    (2007). A search warrant may be invalidated and the fruits of a search may be
    suppressed if there were intentional or reckless omissions or misstatements of material
    information in the warrant affidavit. State v. Atchley, 
    142 Wash. App. 147
    , 157-58, 173
    9
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    P.3d 323 (2007). Negligent omissions or misstatements are insufficient to invalidate a
    warrant. 
    Chenoweth, 160 Wash. 2d at 462
    .
    Detective Cestnik meticulously detailed both the general and law enforcement
    software in his affidavit in support of the search warrant. He explained that normal
    software could reach files in the shared folder and only downloaded files in the shared
    folder. He later explained at trial that even under the standard program anyone could
    view the shared folder:
    The only thing that someone can go in and look at is what’s called your
    “shared file.” In other words, you have a file on your computer labeled
    “shared file” where videos or music or whatever are put into the shared file.
    If you’re logged on and the program is turned on, then anyone can then go
    in and look in your shared file.
    Report of Proceedings (RP) (June 26, 2013) at 17. Detective Cestnik’s testimony
    explains that anyone can view the contents of a shared folder. He noted that a minority of
    users disable the sharing feature. Users do this by changing their upload settings to zero
    slots.
    Detective Cestnik’s affidavit stated his special program could only access the
    shared folder. He explained the special features consisted of the ability to automatically
    track or screenshot shared folders and limit searches to geographical areas such as
    Spokane. The special program also could flag files that shared a hash value. Mr.
    10
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    Peppin’s computer expert described the hash value as a “fingerprint.” RP (June 13, 2013)
    at 10. The affidavit in support of the search warrant notes Mr. Peppin’s computer was
    using the default setting that allowed any other software user to browse the contents of his
    shared folder. This browsing alerted the special program that files with matching hash
    values to known child pornography values were in Mr. Peppin’s shared folder. Once
    alerted, Detective Cestnik downloaded three files from Mr. Peppin’s shared folder, but
    something interrupted the fourth download. At trial, he confirmed these statements. This
    evidence is inconsistent with Mr. Peppin’s PRP argument that no files were in his shared
    folder and that he had changed his upload settings to zero slots.
    The record further contradicts Mr. Peppin’s claim that he changed his upload
    settings to zero slots. Mr. Peppin did not tell Detective Cestnik that his shared folder
    could not be accessed. Rather, he implied that it could be accessed when he told the
    detective that he “attempted to keep files out of his shared folder.” RP (June 26, 2013) at
    63. Mr. Peppin explained to the detective that he “removed” files from his shared folder
    and put them into another folder on his desktop. RP (June 26, 2013) at 63.
    Mr. Peppin also is judicially estopped from arguing that he changed his settings so
    that the files in his shared folder could not be shared with others. Judicial estoppel bars a
    litigant from prevailing on an argument and then later attempting to prevail on a contrary
    11
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    argument. Miller v. Campbell, 
    164 Wash. 2d 529
    , 539, 
    192 P.3d 352
    (2008). Mr. Peppin’s
    computer expert testified that the default settings of Mr. Peppin’s program were
    confusing and that the default settings allowed sharing. This testimony permitted Mr.
    Peppin to argue, and the trial court to find, that Mr. Peppin did not knowingly have the
    settings on share. This finding caused the trial court to dismiss the most serious charge
    against Mr. Peppin.
    Contrary to this argument, Mr. Peppin now argues that he understood the default
    settings and changed them so that no one could view his shared folder. So not only is his
    argument contrary to the record, it contradicts his earlier argument that resulted in the
    most serious charge being dismissed. Mr. Peppin cannot have it both ways.
    In light of the entirety of the record, Detective Cestnik made good faith, accurate
    claims in his affidavit in support of the search warrant. Mr. Peppin cannot show that
    Detective Cestnik made intentional or reckless statements in his request for a search
    warrant. In fact, the trial record contradicts his new claims.
    2.      Failure to obtain mirror image of hard drive and the source code
    Mr. Peppin argues that trial counsel was ineffective for not obtaining a mirror
    image of his hard drive and the source code for law enforcement’s software. Mr. Peppin
    relies on State v. Boyd, 
    160 Wash. 2d 424
    , 
    158 P.3d 54
    (2007). In Boyd, the State charged
    12
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    the defendant with 28 crimes related to five victims, allegedly depicted in hundreds of
    images. 
    Id. at 429.
    The State also claimed to have tens of thousands of commercial
    images of unidentified minors on a hard drive engaged in sexually explicit conduct
    recovered from devices allegedly owned by the defendant. 
    Id. The defendant
    moved to
    compel the State to give him a mirror image copy of his hard drive to enable independent
    testing by an expert. 
    Id. at 430.
    The court denied the motion, reasoning the defendant
    needed only reasonable access rather than a mirror image copy. 
    Id. Our Supreme
    Court reversed and held that CrR 4.7(a) controlled the issue and
    required the State to comply. 
    Id. at 433-35.
    The court also noted, “[w]here the nature of
    the case is such that copies are necessary in order that defense counsel can fulfill this
    critical role, CrR 4.7(a) obliges the prosecutor to provide copies of the evidence as a
    necessary consequence of the right to effective representation and a fair trial.” 
    Id. at 435;
    see also State v. Grenning, 
    169 Wash. 2d 47
    , 
    234 P.3d 169
    (2010).
    Boyd is distinguishable. There, the mirror image copy was necessary so that
    defense counsel could provide effective representation. Here, as explained above, it is
    speculative whether the mirror image of the hard drive or the source code for the police
    software would assist Mr. Peppin. Had the mirror image shown that Mr. Peppin had
    13
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    changed the settings, it would have undercut his successful argument that the program
    was confusing and that he did not knowingly share files.
    C.     DENIAL OF HOUSING VOUCHER
    Mr. Peppin next contends the DOC unlawfully denied him a housing voucher to
    assist with his postconfinement housing needs, and this is his only avenue for relief. 1 The
    DOC responds that Mr. Peppin is not complying with DOC policy. We decline to review
    this issue because it is moot.
    “A case is moot if a court can no longer provide effective relief.” In re Det. of
    Cross, 
    99 Wash. 2d 373
    , 376-77, 
    662 P.2d 828
    (1983). The DOC’s housing voucher
    program has certain eligibility requirements. One requirement is that the offender “[w]ill
    remain incarcerated past the [early release date] without assistance.” Resp. of DOC, Ex.
    3, Attach. E, at 1 (DOC Policy 350.210). Mr. Peppin’s claim is moot because he no
    longer is incarcerated.
    1
    He additionally alleges that DOC has repeatedly violated his civil rights, illegally
    discriminated against him due to his disability, and in general treated him maliciously.
    We agree with DOC that these claims, if meritorious, should be pursued in a civil action.

    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    D.     OFFENDER SCORE CALCULATION
    Mr. Peppin claims his offender score was incorrectly calculated because the trial
    courts findings of fact and conclusions of law are not sufficient to establish that each
    video had a separate victim. We disagree with this claim.
    A PRP may not relitigate an issue that was raised and rejected on direct appeal
    unless relitigation is required in the interests of justice. In re Pers. Restraint of Yates, 
    177 Wash. 2d 1
    , 17, 
    296 P.3d 872
    (2013). “[R]eexamination of an issue decided in a prior
    appeal is limited to cases where an intervening change in the law or some other
    circumstance justified the failure to raise a crucial argument on appeal.” In re Pers.
    Restraint of Mines, 
    190 Wash. App. 554
    , 570, 
    364 P.3d 121
    (2015).
    Mr. Peppin already made this challenge on direct appeal in his statement of
    additional grounds for review. This court held the trial court’s undisputed findings of fact
    found each of the three videos contained a different victim. Mr. Peppin does not explain
    how the interests of justice require relitigation of this issue.
    E.     COMMUNITY CUSTODY CONDITIONS
    Mr. Peppin challenges nearly all of the mandatory and discretionary community
    custody conditions imposed as part of his judgment and sentence. He claims they are
    15
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    variously vague, overbroad, or not crime related. We agree that some of his community
    custody conditions should be struck.
    We review community custody conditions for an abuse of discretion. State v.
    Irwin, 
    191 Wash. App. 644
    , 652, 
    364 P.3d 830
    (2015). The abuse of discretion standard
    applies whether this court is reviewing a crime-related community custody condition or
    reviewing a community custody condition for vagueness. See 
    id. at 652,
    656; State v.
    Sanchez Valencia, 
    169 Wash. 2d 782
    , 791-92, 
    239 P.3d 1059
    (2010); State v. Cordero, 
    170 Wash. App. 351
    , 373, 
    284 P.3d 773
    (2012). Imposing an unconstitutional condition is
    always an abuse of discretion. 
    Irwin, 191 Wash. App. at 652
    .
    The guarantee of due process contained in the Fourteenth Amendment to the
    United States Constitution and article I, section 3 of the Washington Constitution requires
    that laws not be vague. State v. Magana, 
    197 Wash. App. 189
    , 200, 
    389 P.3d 654
    (2016).
    Because a violation of a community custody condition can subject a person to arrest and
    incarceration, vagueness prohibitions extend to community custody conditions. See

    . A community custody condition is not
    unconstitutionally vague so long as it (1) provides ordinary people with fair warning of
    the proscribed conduct, and (2) has standards that are definite enough to “‘protect against
    arbitrary enforcement.’”

    (internal quotation marks

    No. 34866-1-III

    omitted) (quoting State v. Bahl, 
    164 Wash. 2d 739
    , 753, 
    193 P.3d 678
    (2008)). “Unless a
    statute or rule defines its terms, the words have their ordinary meaning.” State v. Autrey,

    The Sentencing Reform Act of 1981, chapter 9.94A RCW, empowers trial courts
    to impose “crime-related prohibitions” during the period of community custody. Former
    RCW 9.94A.505(8) (2010). “Crime-related prohibition” means an order directly related
    to “the circumstances of the crime for which the offender has been convicted.”
    RCW 9.94A.030(10). “The philosophy underlying the ‘crime-related’ provision is that
    ‘[p]ersons may be punished for their crimes and they may be prohibited from doing things
    which are directly related to their crimes, but they may not be coerced into doing things
    which are believed will rehabilitate them.’” State v. Riley, 
    121 Wash. 2d 22
    , 36-37, 
    846 P.2d 1365
    (1993) (alteration in original). However, “a court is generally permitted to impose
    crime-related prohibitions on a convicted sex offender’s period of community custody to
    protect the public and offer the offender an opportunity for self-improvement.”

    .
    Mr. Peppin makes 19 separate claims challenging most of his community custody
    conditions. In large part, these challenges are pedantic complaints that words or phrases
    are unconstitutionally vague or allow for arbitrary enforcement. For the reasons noted in
    17
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    the State’s responsive and reply memoranda, all challenges with the exception of those
    noted below fail.
    1.     Condition 12
    Condition 12 reads: “That you enter into and successfully complete sexual
    deviancy therapy and mental health treatment with state certified therapists.” Resp. of
    DOC, Ex. 1, Attach. A, App. H (appendix to judgment and sentence) at 2. Mr. Peppin
    notes that the trial court did not make the required finding to order mental health
    treatment under RCW 71.24.025. The State concedes this issue and asks that we remand
    for the trial court to make the required findings or to strike the condition.
    If the trial court does not make the required findings, condition 13 will need to be
    struck and condition 19 will need to be modified. Condition 13 requires compliance with
    medication management and directives of the therapist. Condition 19 requires approval
    from the community corrections officer and the therapist for contact with minor children.
    2.     Condition 17
    Condition 17 requires Mr. Peppin to not “possess any form of Pornography or
    sexually explicit material.” Resp. of DOC, Ex. 1, Attach. A, App. H at 2. He challenges
    this condition for vagueness. The parties agree that a prohibition on possessing
    pornography is unconstitutional but disagree about whether the term “sexually explicit
    18
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint of Peppin
    material” clarifies pornography. The State argues that RCW 9.68.130(2) contains the
    definition of “sexually explicit material.” It does. But condition 17 does not refer to
    RCW 9.68.130(2).
    The parties did not have the benefit of State v. Padilla, ___ Wn.2d ___, 
    416 P.3d 712
    (2018). That case makes clear that a vague term cannot be rescued if it relies on a
    vague definition. 
    Id. at 719.
    In Padilla, the community custody condition defined
    “pornographic material” as “‘images of sexual intercourse, simulated or real,
    masturbation, or the display of intimate body parts.’” 
    Id. at 715.
    Padilla reasoned that
    the definition of “pornographic material” was overly broad because it included art not
    produced for the purpose of sexual gratification, such as scenes from the film Titanic or
    the television show Game of Thrones. 
    Id. at 717.
    Here, the term “sexually explicit material” is defined as:
    any pictorial material displaying direct physical stimulation of unclothed
    genitals, masturbation, sodomy (i.e. bestiality or oral or anal intercourse),
    flagellation or torture in the context of a sexual relationship, or emphasizing
    the depiction of adult human genitals: PROVIDED HOWEVER, That
    works of art or of anthropological significance shall not be deemed to be
    within the foregoing definition.
    RCW 9.68.130(2).
    We believe that the statute’s narrower and more precise definition removes the
    problems noted in Padilla.
    19
    No. 34866-1-III
    In re Pers. Restraint ofPeppin
    Nevertheless, the term "pornography" is not defined or narrowed. We,
    therefore, remand with directions that the trial court strike "form of Pornography or"
    from condition 17 and add after the phrase "sexually explicit material," "as defined by
    RCW 9.68.130(2)." Explicit reference to the statute removes enforcement issues.
    In summary, we generally deny Mr. Peppin's petition. But we remand for the trial
    court to consider whether to enter the required findings for condition 12 and to amend
    condition 17 as directed.
    A majority of the panel has determined this opinion will not be printed in the
    Washington Appellate Reports, but it will be filed for public record pursuant to
    RCW 2.06.040.
