It’s important not to wait when facing these serious allegations. Contact my firm to work with me as your solicitation of a minor defense attorney.

Understanding A Solicitation Of A Minor Or “Child Enticement” Charge

In Michigan, soliciting or enticing a minor means attempting to persuade someone under 18 for sexual or other illegal purposes. State law criminalizes this conduct regardless of how the communication occurs: in person, through text messages or on social media platforms.

Many people are surprised to learn that physical contact is not required for charges – text messages, emails, social media interaction or dating app conversations can all serve as evidence. This means your digital communications alone can be used against you, even if you never met the alleged victim.

Even communicating with a police decoy posing as a minor can result in charges. Undercover officers often conduct sting operations to catch people grooming or sexting minors. As your solicitation of a minor defense attorney, I understand these legal complexities and how to challenge the prosecution.

How A Solicitation Of A Minor Defense Attorney Can Champion Your Rights

Prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you were engaging minors for sexual purposes. That involves proving the following elements:

• You knowingly communicated with someone you believed was under 18
• You had the intent to engage in prohibited sexual conduct
• You took substantial steps toward meeting or engaging with the minor
• The communication was for sexual purposes, not an innocent interaction
• Your actions weren’t the result of entrapment by law enforcement
