Online Solicitation of a Minor

Newark, Delaware, Child Sex Crimes Defense Lawyer

As you may have seen on television, the police — often working with private groups — have been running Internet stings against people they think are online child sex predators. If you have had sexually explicit conversations with someone you had reason to believe was under 18, you could be charged with either a state or federal crime. Charges can be brought against you based on your online communication or material stored on your computer.

Unfortunately, the Internet sometimes changes our behavior. It feels anonymous. It feels less personal and more like fantasy. Minors can pose as adults. Your identity can also be stolen and your passwords can be used without your knowledge.

Nevertheless, online solicitation of a minor is a treated very seriously. If you are convicted, you not only face substantial jail time and mandatory registration as a sexual offender, your reputation, your relationships, your job and your life can be destroyed.
