That would depend upon the full facts of the offense, and the charges the prosecutor believes to be appropriate based upon those facts.
They met online, never met in person. Now the man is 37 so this happen in 2002. It happen one time. What would happen if tried.
Is there some reason to believe a prosecutor is considering prosecuting some crime surrounding the conversation? If not, what would cause you to ask such a question about a 15 year old incident?
He fears the phone cops are coming.
There would be no trial as the Statute of Limitations maxes out at 6 years except for Murder, other offenses punishable by death or life imprisonment and embezzlement of public funds.
Even if it happened yesterday, it's not a crime to talk about sex even with minors.
To have sex, or to entice them to have sex, or to have pictures of apparent sexual activity of a minor, or the like would be a problem.
A good DA could prosecute based on PC 288.2.
I know the man. He wants to turn himself in.
Then have him hop in your car and drive him to the local police station. Unless there was an attempt to solicit the child or something else not mentioned here, it’s unlikely the cops would do a thing.
