BILL NUMBER:S3142 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to establishing the crime of allurement of a minor through electronic means PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: Establishes a criminal penalty against an adult who uses an electronic device to sexually lure a minor and an enhanced penalty for repeat offenders. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section One amends the penal law by adding a new section 263.17 and 263.18, establishing the crime of allurement of a minor through electronic means in the second degree and allurement of a minor through electronic means in the first degree. Allurement in the second degree is classified as an A misdemeanor, and allurement in the first degree is classified as an E felony. Allurement will not include sexual communications from one minor to another, nor will it include sexual communications between persons age 18 with persons age 15 and over, nor communications with persons age 21 and under with persons age 17. These provisions correlate with the age of consent currently contained in other sections of the penal law.
