What Is Considered Child Enticement?

With a rise in child trafficking and sex offenses, there is a heavy focus on protecting children from predators. If a person allegedly lures, coaxes, or entices a child under the age of 14 to leave with them without permission, it can be considered illegal child enticement.

Don’t delay your defense. Call our firm at (513) 224-5084 to discuss your case with our seasoned criminal defense attorneys in Cincinnati.

Consequences for Child Enticement in Cincinnati

If a person is charged with enticing, soliciting, or luring a child to accompany them in any manner (without parental or guardian permission), they can be up against serious criminal penalties. Under the state’s child enticement law, this offense is a first-degree misdemeanor and may accompany other more serious offenses.

  • You may face the following penalties if accused:
  • As long as six months in jail; or
  • A full year in prison if you have prior charges
  • Up to thousands of dollars in fines

Should you have a previous record of similar criminal convictions under this section—such as kidnapping, abduction, etc.—your offense may be increased to a fifth-degree felony, carrying more extensive penalties.
