2C:13-7. Luring, enticing an adult, certain circumstances, third degree crime

A person commits a crime of the third degree if he attempts, via electronic or any other means, to lure or entice a person into a motor vehicle, structure or isolated area, or to meet or appear at any place, with a purpose to commit a criminal offense with or against the person lured or enticed or against any other person.

"Electronic means" as used in this section includes, but is not limited to, the Internet. "Internet" means the international computer network of both federal and non-federal interoperable packet switched data networks. "Structure" shall have the meaning set forth in P.L. 1993, c. 291 (C. 2C:13-6).

Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude, if the evidence so warrants, an indictment and conviction for attempted kidnapping under the provisions of N.J.S. 2C:13-1 or for any other crime or offense.

Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S. 2C:1-8 or any other law, a conviction under this section shall not merge with a conviction of any other criminal offense, nor shall such other conviction merge with a conviction under this section, and the court shall impose separate sentences upon each violation of this section and any other criminal offense. The court may not suspend or make any other non-custodial disposition of any person sentenced pursuant to this section.
