What is the minimum age of the suspect in a luring or enticing a child offense?

• A. 16
• B. 18
• C. 21
• D. 25

Answer: (B)

Luring or enticing a child is framed as an offense committed by an adult against a minor, so the statute sets the offender’s minimum age at 18. In other words, the act is targeted at adults who prey on children, not at juveniles. If someone under 18 were involved, they’d typically fall under juvenile procedures rather than this adult-focused offense. That’s why 18 is the correct minimum age—the offender must be an adult to be charged under this statute.
