Online Solicitation of a Child

Houston Internet Sex Crime Defense Attorneys

State of Texas and the federal law enforcement authorities devote significant resources to investigating and prosecuting Internet sex crimes. While the Web can allow sexual predators of children to remain anonymous, so can police and FBI agents posing as minors in chat rooms and online social media sites.

These undercover agents do not consider whether someone intends to initiate sexual relations with a child online or not. Unsuspecting adults ensnared in Internet traps can find themselves facing serious charges involving online solicitation of a minor, cyber stalking, chat room misrepresentation, and other Internet sex crimes.

The criminal defense team of Stan Schneider and Ned advise and represent people facing state or federal charges for sex crimes, including online solicitation. Please contact our Houston, Texas, office if you believe you may be under investigation or if you have been indicted already.
