Solicitation of a Minor Defense in North Carolina
Unfortunately, people accused of and charged with sex offenses in North Carolina are already deemed guilty by many people in the general public and in the prosecutor's office. The stigma associated with these crimes can evoke little sympathy within the criminal justice system. Our firm believes that everyone deserves a voice, and we work hard to let our clients tell their side of the story.
The charge of solicitation of a minor, which is a Class H felony, is outlined in North Carolina statute § 14-202.3. Federal statute § 2251 also concerns a solicitation of a minor charge and carries a minimum potential sentence of 15years in prison.
