Mejak v. Granville: Luring Statute Applies Only When Actual Minor or Peace Officer is Involved

Under Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3554, a person commits the crime of luring a minor for sexual exploitation only if the person lured is actually a minor or a peace officer. The Arizona Supreme Court dismissed the indictment against the defendant because he had lured a news reporter posing as a minor, but noted that the defendant might have been charged with attempted luring or attempted sexual conduct with a minor.
