Issues in Luring A Minor
To sustain the charge of luring a minor, the State must prove the following propositions:
First Proposition: That the defendant was [(21 years of age or older) (at least 18 years of
age but under 21 years of age)]; and
Second Proposition: That the defendant knowingly [(contacted) (communicated
electronically to)] [(minor)]; and
Third Proposition: That the defendant knew that [(minor)] was a minor under 15 years of
age; and
Fourth Proposition: That the defendant intended, for an unlawful purpose [(and not for
assisting [(minor)] in an emergency situation)], to [(persuade) (lure) (transport)] [(minor)] away
from [(his home) (the location known by [(minor's parent) (minor's legal guardian)] to be the
place where [(minor)] is located)]; and
Fifth Proposition: That the defendant did so without the express consent of [(minor’s
parent) (minor’s legal guardian)] as to intentionally avoid such express consent; and
Sixth Proposition: That after communicating with [(minor)], the defendant committed
any act in furtherance of this intent; and
Seventh Proposition: That the defendant is a stranger to [(minor's parents) (minor's legal
guardian)].
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each one of these propositions
has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant guilty.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that any one of these propositions
