Guiding You Through Serious Sex Crime Allegations
When an individual is charged with luring, it can be detrimental to their career and future. This is because luring is the act of successfully, or attempting, to get a minor to enter a car or home away from his or her family or guardian. Unfortunately, this is not always the case as innocent acts may be misconstrued as an attempt to lure a child. If you have been charged with luring, there are numerous defenses that may be used on your behalf, and having a dedicated attorney can help with the process.
