Can one be charged with soliciting sex from a minor, when the ‘minor’ is not a minor, but merely posing as one?

Ask Scott Ritter.

Probably not in California.

Good question. I bet no one’s ever asked that before. I think you may have stumbled upon One Weird Trick to escape charges of soliciting sex with a minor. Your photo will probably start appearing in pop-up ads above the phrase “Prosecutors Hate Him!”

Yes.

Because one can be arrested for hiring a hit man to commit murder who is posing as a hit man but really isn’t one.

Same with any kind of conspiracy-type crime where one party is an undercover officer.

He knows what he is doing is a sex crime and has every intention to do it.
