OVERLAND PARK,KANSAS ELECTRONIC SOLICITATION & DEFENSES
Across the nation, and right here in Johnson, County, Kansas, there are ongoing online operations that are targeting those who solicit minors to engage in sexual activity. There was time that having inappropriate conversations, that led to no significant attempt toward following through with an illicit act, could mean the dismissal of the criminal case against you. Kansas offers no such loophole, under the law, any longer. The district attorney need only prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you sent the messages. This would qualify as attempted indecent liberties with a minor - the prosecutor's case theory. Additionally, the person you believe you are chatting with need not actually be a minor. Rather, you only need to be chatting with a purported minor.
