Note: Public Acts, Spec. Sess., June, 2007, 07-4, § 97, which created this offense, became

effective October 1, 2007.

The defendant is charged [in count__] with misrepresentation of age to entice a minor. The

statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:

a person is guilty of misrepresentation of age to entice a minor when such person, in

the course of and in furtherance of the commission of enticing a minor, intentionally

misrepresents such person’s age.

For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements

beyond a reasonable doubt:

Element 1 - Committed enticing a minor

The first element is that the defendant committed enticing a minor. <Insert the elements from

Enticing a Minor, Instruction 7.6-1.>

Element 2 - Misrepresented age

The second element is that, in the course of and in furtherance of that offense, the defendant

intentionally misrepresented (his/her) age. A person acts “intentionally” with respect to a result

when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-

1.>

Conclusion

In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that <insert the concluding

summary from the instruction for enticing a minor>, and that the defendant intentionally

misrepresented (his/her) age.

If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements

of the crime of misrepresentation of age to entice a child, then you shall find the defendant

guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a

reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
