   solicitation  of  a  minor  by computer.  Prohibits communication by a      
   computer or computer-linked network for  the  purpose  of  enticing  a      
   child  under  17  years of age to meet with a person at least 17 years      
   old who is at least 3 years older than the child for  the  purpose  of      
   engaging  in  certain  sex offenses with the child.  Provides that the      
   penalty is a Class 4 felony.  If the child is under 13 years  of  age,
