Criminal Solicitation of a Minor- The Chatroom Fiasco
Often an arrest for criminal solicitation of a minor is tied to an online chatroom. A Federal Agent, pretending to be underage, may participate in a discussion of a sexual nature and offer to send or receive pornographic images or even meet in person.
Whether you are charged with criminal solicitation of a minor or possession or distribution of child pornography, there are several common defenses:
- Did you intentionally offer to send or request illegal pictures or video?
- Was it the Defendant who usd the computer?
- Entrapment
Minors and Sexting
Everyone, including tweens and teens, carries a cell phone these days. Combined with the recent trend of sending racy pictures, there is a new area of potential liability for child pornography. While interpretive caselaw is not completely clear yet, under existing law, it remains illegal to send or receive child pornography including nude pictures shared between minors.
