State v. Faruqi
Annotate this CaseKasim Faruqi was convicted for attempted enticement of a child. Faruqi appealed, arguing (1) the trial court erred in overruling his motion to dismiss the indictment because the statute setting forth the crime of enticement of a child was unconstitutionally vague, (2) the statements he made to a detective should have been suppressed as involuntary because they were procured by false statements that rose to the level of implied threats, and (3) the evidence discovered on his work computer should have been suppressed because it was discovered as a result of an unlawful search and seizure. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court, holding (1) Faruqi's vagueness challenge failed because the statute puts a person of ordinary intelligence on notice that, if he or she is at least twenty-one years old, attempting to entice a person younger than the age of fifteen years for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct, regardless of whether the victim is, in fact, younger than fifteen years, is a crime; (2) Faruqi's statements were not obtained involuntarily; and (3) Faruqi's Fourth Amendment claim was barred as he maintained no subjective expectation of privacy in his work computer.
