Internet Solicitation Defense

Serious Charges Require Serious Defense

Law enforcement agencies across the country engage in online chats pretending to be underage girls or boys. The cops set up meetings for sex and make the arrest when the unsuspecting individual arrives for the meeting.

If you have been arrested for enticement of a child or online sexual solicitation of a minor, you are facing a very serious charge with serious penalties. You need to hire an experienced, credible trial attorney to analyze the prosecutor's case. Whether your case is charged in the state or the federal court, you should hire someone early in the process so your Constitutional rights are protected. Involving your defense attorney as soon as possible can be critical to successfully resolving your criminal charges - whether your case is ultimately set for trial or a plea is negotiated in exchange for a reduced charged with reduced penalties.

Internet Solicitation of a Minor - Points to Consider

All of the following must be taken into consideration when assessing the facts of an Internet solicitation case:

• Did the law enforcement officer purposely pick an age which would enhance the penalty for the charge?
• Did the cop commit entrapment?
• What was going on in the defendant's life at the time the alleged offense was charged?

The age of the person solicited is also considered. Under the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines, the penalties vary greatly depending upon the age of the person solicited, even if the person solicited turns out to be a law enforcement officer.

• If convicted of soliciting a minor 14 years of age or younger (a severity level 1 person felony in Kansas) you face a prison sentence of 147-653 months (12 - 54 years) in prison, depending upon your prior criminal history.
• If convicted of soliciting a minor 16 years of age or younger (a severity level 3 person felony in Kansas) you face a prison sentence of 55-247 months (4 - 20 years) in prison, depending upon your prior criminal history.
