Internet Solicitation

Missouri Lawyers Defending Clients Against Accusations of the Internet Solicitation of a Minor

Federal authorities have recently encouraged local law enforcement agencies to set up on-line "sting operations" in an attempt to catch those engaged in the internet solicitation of a minor. In the typical scenario, police officers will pose as minors in an attempt to lure presumed predators into traps. Whether guilty or not, the resulting criminal charges are incredibly serious and could permanently tarnish a person's reputation.

Were Your Actions Misinterpreted?

The laws surrounding the internet solicitation of a minor were put in place to protect unsuspecting young people from online predators. While laudable, these laws are somewhat broad in scope and leave a great deal of room for the misinterpretation of a person's intentions. Our firm recognizes that it is possible for law enforcement to misconstrue your actions or even commit entrapment. We will conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine what really happened and expose any improper police conduct.

Building a Strategy for Your Defense

Unfortunately, evidence gathered from law enforcement sting operations or computer hard drives is sometimes difficult to dispute. Rest assured, we will explore every possible defense option in your internet sex crimes case, seeking a dismissal or reduction of charges whenever possible. If there is no choice but to proceed to trial, we will provide powerful and skilled advocacy on your behalf.
