The 2nd Degree felony enhancement for Online Solicitation of a Minor applies when the minor is younger than how many years?

• A. Younger than 17 years old
• B. Younger than 14 years old for 2nd Degree felony
• C. Younger than 15 years old
• D. Younger than 12 years old

Answer: (B)

The key rule here is that online solicitation of a minor carries a higher penalty when the targeted minor is very young. Specifically, the second-degree felony enhancement applies if the minor is younger than 14 years old. That means ages 13 and younger trigger the higher category, while 14 or older (but still under 18) does not. So the correct threshold is under 14 years old.
