California Man Arrested for Contacting Teen through MySpace

by

A 25-year-old man was arrested in Gardena for allegedly contacting a minor over the Internet for sex. Earlier in the week, authorities took over the MySpace account of a 12-year-old girl and arranged a meeting with the man. MyFoxLA.com reports that the man showed up to the meeting place and was charged with committing a lewd act on a child and contacting and arranging a meeting with a minor with intent to engage in a lewd act.

Sex crimes in California have serious consequences. A sex crime conviction in California could very well result in prison time, steep fines and mandatory registration as a sex offender. However, a significant number of the people charged with lewd acts with a child (California Penal Code 288) are falsely accused. Misunderstandings and miscommunications can happen and mistakes can be made. Lewd acts with a child laws are broad and can be difficult to understand.
