Child Enticement

Because of attorney related shows and the sting operations portrayed on television, many are already familiar with this particular offense. The laws for Child enticement, solicitation, or luring of a child differ by state where in some define it solely as enticement of a minor for sexual activity. This offense is sometimes referred to as Internet Luring. Other state child enticement statutes also include enticing a child for other reasons, such as providing a child with drugs, alcohol or exposing a child to pornography. Generally, it is the attempt to entice, provoke, tempt or lure a child into the commission of a sexual act or other crime. The Internet or other electronic communication is often used as the conduit by which the victim is led or lured into this situation. However, the Internet is also used as a method of trapping or setting up potential predators.

When charged with child enticement or internet luring of a minor, the mere accusation of the crime can have a devastating effect on your life, including serious harm to your reputation, career and personal relationships. If convicted, you can face a lifetime registration as a sex offender and hefty fines, aside from mandatory prison time. In most states, if the victim is less than 14 years old, it is considered a felony and carries severe criminal penalties. Even if you don't necessarily meet with a minor to have sex, but you have described sex in an online chat room and meet for coffee you may be convicted. If you were known by the victim by way of a supervisory relationship, such as a clergy, teacher, coach, or relative, you will have greater incriminating risks in the court room and sentencing.

Prosecutors are extremely zealous in seeking convictions for child enticement and sex crimes against children and minors. Further complicating the matter, is children do make false accusations or may exaggerate or lie about the circumstances. However, prosecutors are not trying to seek the "truth." Their primary goal is to show you are guilty and will do anything to color information and use any and all legal means to accomplish their goal, even if it means "spinning" the child's testimony. A sex crime conviction can follow you for the rest of your life, and convictions can occur even when the only evidence is the victim's word.

Child Enticement Charge Defense!

Child enticement charges are based very much on "intent." Anyone suspected of intent, not only to commit a sexual act with a child but also to disseminate harmful material, commit assault or battery or otherwise lure a child into a harmful or dangerous situation can be accused of child enticement. In fact, merely persuading a child to enter a car or building or not to leave a building can be construed as child enticement or luring.

Child Enticement, Sex Crimes and Internet Pornography are aggressively prosecuted by state and federal courts, with severe sentencing penalties.
