Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri

Re: Enticing of a child

I can only answer as to the Missouri portion of the question as it relates to Missouri Law. Enticing generally refers to an accused talking to a minor over the internet or phone and discussing sexual topics and then agreeing to perform a sexual act.

Here's the language from the Statute:

A person at least twenty-one years of age or older commits the crime of enticement of a child if that person persuades, solicits, coaxes, entices, or lures whether by words, actions or through communication via the Internet or any electronic communication, any person who is less than fifteen years of age for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct.
