What is soliciting a minor?

Soliciting a minor refers to the act of requesting, enticing, or persuading a child to engage in sexual activity. This includes sending sexually explicit material, arranging for a meeting with the child for sexual purposes, or asking the child to send explicit imagery. It is a serious criminal offense and can result in severe legal consequences, including imprisonment, fines, and being registered as a sex offender. It is important to protect children from being victimized and parents should educate their children about the risks and dangers associated with interacting with strangers online and offline.
