Unfortunately child enticement has an extremely broad definition and it is possible that this charge may be rendered against a person who had no actual criminal intent. Fortunately the prosecution has the burden to prove intent to harm the victim. Defined as attempting to entice, lure or persuade any child to enter, stay or leave any building, vehicle or place with the use of force or with intent to commit indecent assault, battery, commit rape, disseminate material harmful to children, committing indecent exposure, unnatural or lascivious acts or other charges unfortunately provides many opportunities for abuse of the system.
All of us are aware that any crime against children involves high emotions, and can create not only personal pain, but the stigma of being associated with any type of an abuse charge against a child will follow you the rest of your life and will affect your home life and your employment.
Because prosecutors are under such pressure to not only charge someone with these crimes but even more pressure to successfully prosecute and ‘make the charges stick’ many times they find ways to question the victims (children) in ways that are most beneficial to their case and most damaging to the defendant.
