As serious as mere possession or distribution of photos deemed inappropriate by the Florida Legislature, using one’s computer to solicit a “child” for sexual activity is deemed many times more serious under Florida law (See: Ch. 800.04(7)(b) Fla. Stat.). The typical sentence for a Saint Lucie County computer solicitation arrest carries a maximum term of imprisonment of fifteen (15) years. A Saint Lucie County Computer Solicitation Lawyer could help protect your rights and build a strong defense against these serious charges.
Here’s the rub.
The solicited child does not have to be a real child.
Law enforcement directs most prosecutions not at true sex offenders but at citizens who may be fantasizing or merely chatting online with “undercover” children. Seasoned, experienced police detectives pose as these ‘children’ and train to lure otherwise innocent, fair-minded people into compromising situations.
No sane person wants to protect true sexual predators. However, arresting, aggressively prosecuting, and imprisoning innocent citizens does not reflect the law’s intended purpose.
