Docket entry
180946 Commonwealth v. Murgia 05/16/2019 In a prosecution under Code § 18.2-374.3(D), the evidence was sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant's text communications with a minor female, when viewed in the overall context of his relationship with her, constituted a violation of the statute, which prohibits use of a communications system for the purposes of soliciting, with lascivious intent, an adolescent between the ages of 15 and 18 to commit certain sexual acts as specified by Code § 18.2 374.3(C). The dispositions of the Court of Appeals of Virginia are reversed, and final judgment is entered on this appeal reinstating and upholding the conviction.
