FRIEDLANDER, J.
A credit restricted felon is defined in relevant part as follows:
a person who has been convicted of at least one (1) of the following offenses:
(1) Child molesting involving sexual intercourse or deviate sexual
conduct (IC 35-42-4-3(a)), if:
(A) the offense is committed by a person at least twenty-one
(21) years of age; and
(B) the victim is less than twelve (12) years of age.
(2) ….
I.C. § 35-41-1-5.5. This statutory language is unambiguous, and a plain reading of it revealsthat a credit restricted felon includes a defendant who has been convicted of child molesting under I.C. § 35-42-4-3(a) (that is, child molesting involving sexual intercourse or deviate sexual conduct with a child under fourteen years of age) [footnote omitted] if certain special circumstances exist. [Footnote omitted. These required circumstances are that the defendant was at least twenty-one years of age when he/she committed the offense and the victim was less than twelve years of age.
Contrary to White’s argument on appeal, the statute does not require that the first of these special circumstances (defendant’s age) be alleged and established as an element of the crime for which the defendant was convicted. In other words, I.C. § 35-41-1-5.5(1) does not expressly limit application of the credit restricted felon statute to those convicted of child molesting as a class A felony based upon the defendant’s age being at least twenty-one. Rather, this provision of the credit restricted felon statute refers generally to conviction for the offense of child molesting involving sexual intercourse or deviate sexual conduct under I.C. § 35-42-4-3(a), which addresses both A and B felonies. In addition to a conviction under I.C. § 35-42-4-3(a), the two special circumstances listed in I.C. § 35-41-1-5.5(1)(A) and (B) must then also be present for imposition of credit restricted felon status.
In the instant case, White was convicted of child molesting involving sexual intercourse under I.C. § 35-42-3-2(a). Moreover, the record clearly establishes that he was over the age of twenty-one when he committed the crime and his victim was under the age of twelve. The credit restricted felon statute, therefore, plainly applies in this case, and it is of no moment that White pleaded guilty to class B felony child molesting, as opposed to class A felony child molesting. The trial court did not err in assigning his credit restricted felon status.
