Luring, enticing, and solicitation charges are codified in the New Jersey Criminal Code under N.J.S.A. 2C:13-6. The statute prohibits a person from using any means to lure or entice a child into a motor vehicle, a building, or any other isolated area for the purpose of committing a criminal offense against the child.
