Defending Yourself Against a Charge
Solicitation of a minor is defined as “a person 18 years of age or older who solicits a child or someone the person reasonably believes is a child to engage in sexual conduct with intent to engage in sexual conduct.” This crime is a felony and is punishable by up to three years in prison and a substantial $5,000 fine.
It’s important to know that a mistake or misunderstanding about the alleged victim’s age is not an allowable defense for an individual who has been charged with this crime. You are held accountable for your actions in this regard even though you may have been deceived by the other party.
