Houston, Texas Solicitation of a Minor

What Is Solicitation of a Minor?

Solicitation of a minor occurs when an adult engages in sexually explicit communication with someone under the age of 18. This may be oral or written communication, or online solicitation of a minor, such as through email, chat rooms, social networking sites, or other sites.

The term “solicitation” refers to requesting, making an attempt or asking for something. Therefore, an individual does not have to have followed through with any acts of a sexual nature to be charged with solicitation of a minor. In fact, approaching a child near a school or at a mall can be considered such a crime if the facts are misconstrued.

Penalties for solicitation of a minor can be severe. These can include prison sentences, heavy fines, and sex offender registration. You may also have a difficult time finding a job or place to live following a conviction. Such a conviction will likely have a significant impact on your life and various future prospects.
