Seattle Cyber Stalking Defense Attorneys
Internet Solicitation
Internet chat rooms and commercial Web sites such as MySpace can be great places to meet interesting people and make new friends. They're also a great place to meet copsa lot of cops. Local, state, federal, ICE, FBI - you name it, they're out there chatting it up, posing as teenage girls who'll be "turning eighteen" very soon, encouraging contact.
A lot of people fall for their act. You see it on television and read about it in the papers as more people fall prey to these online provocations. The problem for law enforcement is that "sting" operations and decoys can easily cross the line into entrapment. If you have been charged with the solicitation of a minor or with soliciting sex online - a conviction officially makes you a "sex offender" and can follow you for the rest of your life. In Washington these cases are typically charged as Attempted Rape of a Child 2, with a sentence range of five years to life in prison for this single offense. Our attorneys will provide you with an aggressive defense based on their experiences negotiating clients through this life altering event. You need experienced counsel to enable you to put your best foot forward when facing these charges.
