What Are Internet Sex Crimes?

Internet sex crimes are acts of illegal sexual behavior that are claimed to have been conducted using the internet, such as through social media, messaging applications, chat rooms or websites.
Common charges include:

  • Online solicitation of a minor
  • Attempted enticement or luring
  • Distributing or owning obscene material
  • Sending messages of a sexual nature or some pictures of the same nature
  • Arranging meetings for unlawful purposes

Most cases arise from undercover operations, where law enforcement poses as minors online. It can quickly devolve from there into felony criminal charges.

Understanding Online Solicitation Charges

Online solicitation usually involves accusations that someone had attempted to communicate with a person felt to be underage through the Internet or related avenues for sex acts. Even if there is no tangible meeting after the conversation, the communication itself can be sufficient grounds to file for criminal charges.
In these cases, several things are key:

  • Message Content and Meaning
  • If the accused thought they were talking to a minor
  • If the evidence has been gathered through chats, mails or by using any app
  • Laws enforcement strategies, undercover operations

A full review of the law is especially important so that these cases – which depend heavily on digital evidence – can be properly adjudicated,
