Tennessee Child Enticement Attorneys
Child Enticement Defense Lawyer in Knoxville, TN
It is illegal for an adult over the age of 18 to intentionally lure, entice, tempt, coax, solicit, or influence a minor to enter a car, building or vessel, with the intent of physically harming the child or engaging in unlawful sexual activity. Due to the increase in online interaction, more and more children are being contacted and enticed through the Internet. However, child enticement is not just limited to the web. Anytime an adult tries to entice a child into engaging in sexual activity, whether through the Internet, physical actions, or spoken words, he/she will be subject to felony criminal charges.
In order to successfully convict an individual of child enticement the following must be true:
1. The enticement was intentional
2. The defendant enticed the child for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual or non-sexual activity.
People are falsely accused of child enticement everyday. Because the legal definition of child enticement is so far-reaching, it is easy to charge people of this crime, even if their intentions were not unlawful or illegal. However, simply being accused of child enticement can be just as destructive as being convicted of the crime. persons accused of child enticement are shunned by society and their community, and often lose their jobs, spoil their reputations, and restrict future opportunities.
