In the last 10 years the Internet has changed the world in ways that no one thought possible. It’s unfortunate, but with the growing popularity of the Internet came a growth in Internet crime. The proliferation of Internet sex crimes have changes so rapidly that it’s created an entirely new mode of law enforcement. The web has given offenders access to children of all that was not possible until recently.

The growth and increased access to technology such as instant messaging, email and web cams have created an unprecedented opportunity for direct access to children. Of course, lewd and/or indecent proposals can be construed at times when no intent was present.

The possibilities of being charged with an Internet sex crime are everywhere. One growing example is the abuse or neglect of a child. This is a charge where prosecutors are saying that the defendants have engaged in conduct that sexually exploits a minor. Another common offense lately is indecent exposure/indecent exhibitions or obscene writings or pictures because technology has allowed for much easier generation of materials that are deemed illegal under traditional laws. Finally allegations of lewd or indecent proposals to a child under 16 are appearing more and more often. Sometimes these lewd or indecent proposals can come when there is no intent present.
