Enticement of a Minor Charges in Nashville, TN
What is Solicitation of a Minor?
Several varieties of the crime of sexual exploitation of a minor involve the enticement or solicitation of a minor to engage in sexual activity or simulated sexual activity. Specifically, TCA § 39-13-528 specifies that it is illegal for an adult to knowingly contact or communicate with a minor in order to engage in specified illegal activities with or against the minor. TCA § 39-13-529 prohibits the solicitation of the sexual exploitation of a minor or the exploitation of a minor via electronic means.
These and related prohibitions hold true even if the "minor" is not, in fact, a minor, but rather, "a law enforcement officer posing as a minor, and whom the person making the display reasonably believes to be less than eighteen (18) years of age."
Cases involving the enticement, solicitation, or sexual exploitation of a minor can be exceedingly complex and are harshly prosecuted and penalized. In addition to facing imprisonment and fines, you may face lifetime sex offender registration, which alone can negatively affect every aspect of your life. You must involve a competent attorney to defend your constitutional rights.

Federal Charges for Solicitation/Exploitation of a Minor
When a suspect invites a minor to go out of state to commit a sex crime, the FBI may get involved. Your legal situation is very serious if you have been charged, or have reason to believe you may be charged, with such a crime. A conviction in federal court could result in 20 years in prison.
You have no time to waste if you have been arrested or if you have learned that state or federal law enforcement agents are investigating you in connection with alleged enticement of a minor for the purpose of sexual activity.

"Do not give up hope"Words cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to Rob McKinney and his entire law firm. This was my first experience with needing legal representation. After speaking with other attorneys, I was told that there was not much they could be do for me. I was fully aware that the odds were stacked against me and I was losing hope. Mr. McKinney told me that he would fight for me and that is exactly what he did. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend this firm- Anonymous

"Best criminal lawyer in Nashville."I have met with Mr. McKinney during a very difficult time. I was welcomed with open arms. Aside from being the best lawyer, he is a very caring person. He accomplished the impossible in my case. He worked relentlessly and brought my charges down from a serious felony to a misdemeanor. Which is unheard of from what I understand. I would have faced deportation but with his expertise and commitment to my case now I can become a citizen. Rob McKinney and his team gave me a second chance in life! For that I am forever grateful.- Pinar James

"No Nonsense, Knowledgable & Organized"Savannah was absolutely amazing! She made me feel at ease during a very stressful time, reassuring me every step of the way that my case was in good hands. Her confidence in achieving the best outcome was completely justified. I reached out frequently with questions and she or the team always responded promptly and thoroughly. On top of their exceptional service, their pricing was better than any other law firm I contacted. I would recommend May McKinney a thousand times over!- Matthew C.

"Stop searching for an attorney. Stop worrying about your legal woes. Stop wondering if your attorney actually cares and start letting Rob McKinney handle your case."In a nutshell, all of the glowing reviews that I read on this site are 100% spot-on. I had a DWI case reduced to reckless driving. Rob is a fighter and would have battled for a full dismissal if I had requested him to but after some discussion I concluded that accepting the lesser charge was the right move for me. Furthermore, Rob was able to file a motion and get the judge to dismiss my probation obligations once I finished the mandatory classes. It was the best possible result for me. I also need to mention that Karen, the front end of the firm, is spectacular and plays an important part in the firm's success and client experience. She responds to communications promptly and keeps you informed of what's happening as required while Rob and Shyanne stay busy getting the legal work done. Seriously, if you're searching for representation and nervous because you don't know who you can trust and rely on, just stop. I promise you these reviews you've been reading (just like I did before I contacted the firm) are accurate and you can quickly take some of the weight off of your shoulders by having a meeting at May & McKinney and retaining them for your case.- D.T.
