Sex crimes are a heavily penalized category of crimes in the state of California, and internet sex crimes are no exception. Because the internet is often used to commit sex crimes involving children, California takes these charges very seriously. Recent advances in the internet have allowed people to use the internet to search for child pornography, solicit a prostitute, or ask a minor for nude photos from practically anywhere. Because of the spreading issue of internet sex crimes, law enforcement officers have taken to setting up sting operations to catch sexual predators.
Internet Sex Crimes in California
The internet can be used for a variety of sex crimes, which means there are many possible penalties for this category of crimes. Other factors that can affect your punishment can include the age of your victim and your specific charges. When a minor is involved, the penalties are typically far harsher.
Internet Sex Crimes Include:
- Internet solicitation of a minor for sex
- Lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor
- Distribution of child pornography
- Possession of child pornography
- Arranging to meet a minor for a lewd purpose
- Harmful matter sent to seduce a minor
- Child exploitation
- Child molestation
- Solicitation of a prostitute
- Arranging to meet another for the purpose of rape, molestation, or sexual assault
Internet Luring of Children
Using the internet to lure children for sexual purposes is not viewed favorably by law enforcement, and the penalties can be especially steep when a minor is the victim of a sex crime. If you are charged with “arranging to meet a minor for a lewd purpose,” you could be facing serious consequences.
