In Virginia, a person may be charged with computer solicitation of a minor if he uses a computer or computer network to solicit, entice, encourage, or ask a person he knows or should know is under eighteen years of age to engage in sexual activity of any kind.
It is enough evidence to be charged with this crime if the minor stated or wrote on the computer that he or she was under the age of eighteen.
A person may be charged with computer solicitation of a minor even if the “minor” on the computer is an undercover detective or a vigilante group pretending to be a child.
