Definition of the Law: 750.145a. Accosting, enticing or soliciting child for immoral purposes
- A person who accosts, entices, or solicits a child less than 16 years of age, regardless of whether the person knows the individual is a child or knows the actual age of the child, or an individual whom he or she believes is a child less than 16 years of age with the intent to induce or force that child or individual to commit an immoral act, to submit to an act of sexual intercourse or an act of gross indecency, or to any other act of depravity or delinquency, or who encourages a child less than 16 years of age, regardless of whether the person knows the individual is a child or knows the actual age of the child, or an individual whom he or she believes is a child less than 16 years of age to engage in any of those acts is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or a fine of not more than $4,000.00, or both.
What This Means: This is a common charge that has gained popularity due to shows like “To Catch a Predator” on NBC, where young children are enticed or solicited over the internet to commit an immoral act. This statute is often times used as a plea bargain for more serious criminal sexual conduct charges where the prosecutor or the alleged victim’s family is not willing to risk going to trial. This is a very serious crime and carries with it a four year maximum prison sentence if convicted.
How We Can Help: Attorney McNeil can help you immediately by reviewing the relevant police reports, witness statements, and the alleged victim’s testimony. He may recommend the hiring of a private investigator which has been used in the past to discovery damaging testimony for the prosecution’s case. He will advise you to never speak with investigating officers either before or after being charged. The prosecuting attorney’s case should be strong enough without your testimony and you will likely be charged regardless of your “cooperation” with the investigating officer. Anything you say to the investigators will in fact be used against you and is never helpful to your case, even if you are completely innocent of any wrongdoing. Call Attorney McNeil 24 hours 7 days a week for a free telephone consultation.
