Columbus Importuning Defense Attorney

Defending Clients Against Importuning Charges in Ohio

Importuning charges involve claims of solicitation, and can include solicitation of a minor through the Internet. Often, importuning charges arise after an individual has solicited someone in a chat room, only to find that the person is really a police officer. Police stings like these are increasing in use as local law enforcement agencies work to protect their communities from sexual predators.

 If you have been charged with importuning in Ohio, The Law Office of Eric J. Allen, Ltd., can help. Our Columbus importuning defense attorney works hard to aggressively defend clients against these charges, using defense arguments such as mistaken identity or entrapment.

Do not speak with the police until you have first talked to a lawyer. Contact us to learn about your rights.

Focused On Holding the Prosecution To Its Burden of Proof

A conviction of importuning depends greatly on the evidence obtained by the police and whether all technical aspects of the charge have been met. We will thoroughly prepare for your defense by investigating all possible technical issues.

• Was the chat room you were in for adults only?
• Were the chat log transcripts accurate?
• Did the police properly track the computer used at the time of the crime?
• Did anyone else have access or opportunity to use your computer?
• Were any images sent during the chat?

Our goal at all times is to hold the police and prosecution to their burden of proof. We will work hard to ensure they followed the chain of evidence properly.

Protecting You From the Harshest Penalties of an Importuning Conviction

If you are convicted of importuning or solicitation, you will face prison time, fines and sex offender registration. The length of time you must register for depends greatly on whether the judge views you as a danger. The advocacy skills of your attorney are greatly tested here, because if your lawyer does the job right, your registration period will be kept at a minimum.

Attorney Eric J. Allen knows what it takes to aggressively advocate on behalf of our clients. He will strive at all times to protect your rights and your future.
