Colorado Internet Sex Offense Defense Attorney

Denver Criminal Attorney: Solicitation of a Child

Internet Luring of a Child in Colorado is a serious felony with penalties including prison, intensive supervision and sex offender registration.  Internet Luring is knowingly communicating explicit sexual conduct over the internet to a person believed to be under 15 years old. Inviting the person believed to be a child to meet can be charged as Internet Luring With Intent, which carries greater penalties. Text messages and other forms of electronic communication are covered under this law.  In most cases, the government alleges that the accused sent sexually explicit messages, e-mails, texts, or pictures to a child with the intent to lure the child to a meeting place.

Most Internet Luring charges in Colorado are the result of local, state, or federal task force operations.  Undercover agents enter chat rooms and social networking sites posing as teenagers.  These agents pretend to be children expressing an interest in sex, engaging others users into sexual conversations with them.  Internet Luring allegations also begin when a child complains of conversations with a stranger over the Internet.  Depending on the circumstances, Sexual Exploitation of a Child, Enticement of a Child, Child pornography , and other serious sex offenses in Colorado may also be alleged.

Defending Internet Luring charges in Colorado is a specialized area.  The law states it is not a defense that a meeting didn’t occur or that one of the parties was an undercover agent posing as a child.  If you have been charged or believe you are under investigation for an Internet sex offense, you should contact an experienced defense attorney for advice and guidance to protect your interests and minimize your exposure.  An experienced Denver criminal defense attorney will explore specific and technical issues to these allegations, such as witness credibility, government entrapment, and alternative interpretations to conversations.
