If a child is adjudicated delinquent for an unlawful act that, if committed by an adult, would have constituted kidnapping in the first or second degree, false imprisonment, burglary or invasion of the home, the juvenile court shall, at the request of the district attorney, conduct a separate hearing to determine whether the act was sexually motivated.

2. At the hearing, only evidence concerning the question of whether the unlawful act was sexually motivated may be presented.

3. After hearing the evidence, the juvenile court shall determine whether the unlawful act was sexually motivated and shall enter its finding in the record.

4. For the purposes of this section, an unlawful act is “sexually motivated” if one of the purposes for which the child committed the unlawful act was his sexual gratification.
