What Is Child Enticement?

Protecting children from predators is a significant concern these days, and when a person entices, lures, coaxes, or otherwise convinces a child under 14 years old to accompany them somewhere without permission, they can be charged under O.R.C. 2905.05, Criminal Child Enticement. Charges for this offense are often filed along with other charges, such as unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, gross sexual imposition, disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, importuning, and possessing criminal tools.

Ohio Child Enticement Penalties
