I have multiple questions. I was recently served with a

Hello. My name is ***** ***** I am an attorney. I understand there was a search warrant and that law enforcement may have seized and/or searched the content of your phone. At this point, you will not know if charges will be brought until the prosecutor reviews whatever was recovered and determines whether there is evidence of a crime. If you understand that the investigation relates to solicitation of a minor then you may want to go ahead and consult with a local attorney to have someone ready to step in to represent you if it becomes necessary.

Unfortunately, in most states, this type of offense is what is known as a strict liability offense. What that means is that you do not have to have intended to communicate with a minor and that your belief the person was of age is not a valid defense. You can read more about that here: https://criminal-law.freeadvice.com/criminal-law/violent_crimes/solicitation-of-a-minor.htm

I hope this information helps. If you need additional assistance, feel free to reply to this message. If I answered your question and provided excellent service, I would greatly appreciate your 5 star rating.
