This bill creates the crime of enticement of a child.  Enticement
of a child is defined as persuading or attempting to persuade a
child under the age of 16 to leave home or school or to enter a
vehicle, building, structure, alley, or place where the child is
concealed from public view for the purpose of engaging in lewd,
illicit, or criminal conduct with the child.  Enticing a child is
a class A misdemeanor, unless the person has previously pled or
been found guilty of enticement of a child, first or second
degree endangering the welfare of a child, abuse of a child, or a
sexual offense, in which case it is a class D felony.
