(2) The reference in subsection (1) to obtaining sexual gratification is to obtaining it for any person (whether for A, B or some other person).
(3) In this section—

“relevant offence” means any of these—
(a)
an offence under section 18 of the 1861 Act,
(b)
an offence under section 20 of the 1861 Act,
(c)
an offence (but not common assault) under section 47 of the 1861 Act,
