It’s All Too Easy To Mistake Identities On The Internet

Solicitation of a minor is a serious felony offense in any context, including when it occurs online. Unfortunately, this puts a lot of well-meaning people in a dangerous position: On the internet, it’s not always easy to know who you’re really talking to.

In some cases, an intriguing online conversation may lead a minor to lie about their own age in order to keep the attention of the adult they’re speaking with. Over time, such a conversation can get personal, and the adult may unknowingly solicit a person that they do not realize is a minor.

Another legal risk online is entrapment, most famously seen on the Dateline series “To Catch a Predator.” In this scenario, an adult thinks he is talking with a minor, only to find out that he or she has actually been communicating with journalists or law enforcement officials seeking to lure people into online solicitation of a minor.
