Child Sex Trafficking Charges

Per Arizona Revised Statute 13-3554, luring a minor for sexual exploitation is illegal, and it refers to the act of proposing or seeking sexual conduct with someone else, all the while being aware or having cause to think that the other party is a minor.

Notably, asserting that the involved individual is not actually a minor does not function as a legitimate defense to this charge, although there are alternative methods your defense lawyer may utilize to contest this accusation.

This law classifies luring a minor as a class 3 felony, a grave offense carrying considerable potential consequences such as financial penalties and incarceration. Additionally, if the minor involved is younger than fifteen years old, the punishments may be even more rigorous, as governed by ARS 13-705 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
