Understanding Electronic Sex Crime Charges

Electronic sex crimes involve the use of digital communication or the internet to engage in illegal sexual conduct. Convictions have very severe consequences. Alabama law classifies several offenses under this category, including the following charges.

Transmitting Obscene Material to a Child (§ 13A-6-111)

By sending inappropriate content to minors through electronic means, someone may be charged with a Class B felony. This charge includes both simulated and actual content. It also requires proof of intent to engage in sexual activity.

Electronic Solicitation of a Child (§ 13A-6-122)

This serious charge is a Class B felony. It involves using electronic means to solicit a minor for sexual purposes.​

Traveling to Meet a Child (§ 13A-6-124)

Someone travels to, within, or from Alabama to meet a minor. Traveling to meet a minor is a Class A felony.

Frequent Questions About Internet Sex Crimes

Digital evidence can be misleading or misunderstood, and Alabama law moves fast. Our attorneys cut through the legal jargon to protect your rights and reputation. These are the most common questions we receive from our clients.

As technology develops, so do the ways to commit internet sex crimes. Online solicitation of a minor, as well as travelling to meet them and sharing explicit content, are different charges. Virtual sexual harassment, revenge porn, sextortion, and sending unsolicited explicit images are all electronic sex crimes.

Solicitation of a minor is a serious felony offense in Alabama. It occurs when an adult intentionally uses a computer, phone, or the internet to lure someone they believe to be a minor for sexual purposes. The crime is complete once the message is communicated with that intent.

Yes, especially if you’re innocent. An electronic sex crime charge will not disappear. Computer evidence is easy to misinterpret. An "automatic" cloud download or a shared Wi-Fi connection can make an innocent person look like a criminal. Hiring a lawyer early protects you before a misunderstanding turns into a life-altering conviction.
