Mejak v. Granville: Luring Statute Applies Only When Actual Minor or Peace Officer Is Involved

Abstract

Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3554 defines the crime of "Luring a minor for sexual exploitation." Subsection A provides that a person commits "luring" by "offering or soliciting sexual conduct with another person knowing or having reason to know that the other person is a minor.", Subsection B adds that the defendant cannot claim as a defense "that the other person was a peace officer posing as a minor." In Mejak v. Granville, a unanimous Arizona Supreme Court held that a person does not commit the crime of luring when the person lured was neither a minor nor a peace officer posing as a minor.
