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

has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant not guilty.
