Understanding the Charges Against You for Indecent Solicitation of a Child

Understanding the Charges Against You for Indecent Solicitation of a Child Finding yourself accused of indecent solicitation of a child is something you don't want to take lightly, even if you know you are one hundred percent innocent.

Being charged with a crime of this nature is worrying. In Rhode Island, the RI Code Chapter 11-37 states that indecent solicitation of a child is when you willfully seek someone under the age of eighteen for sexual acts. If you know the person is under the age of eighteen and yet you contact them for sexual acts, then chances are you will be found guilty. An experienced attorney will be able to negotiate a better sentence for you in the long run.

Indecent solicitation of a child is part of the sexual assaults act and is when you ask, prompt, permit, provoke or recommend sexual acts from a child under the age of eighteen. This may be someone who is visiting an online chat room and knowingly discussed sexual acts with the child, even knowing that they are underage.

Of course there are a number of factors that are taken into consideration when it comes to the charges against you, including the child’s age. When it comes to the charges, the age of the child is a serious note to focus on. Older children that are sixteen or seventeen often look much older and therefore it can be easy for the defendant to not even realize they are prompting sex with someone who is not the legal age.

There are very strict laws relating to indecent solicitation of a child and this is considered a felony offense. The implications of being charged are very severe and can have a negative impact on the future of your life.

In addition to having to register on the sexual offenders database, you may also have to spend five years or more in prison, something you want to avoid if you can by hiring a professional and experienced indecent solicitation of a child attorney.
