TITLE 18 CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS
CHAPTER 20 - CRIMINAL SOLICITATION
18-2001.Definition of solicitation. A person is guilty of criminal solicitation to commit a crime if with the purpose of promoting or facilitating its commission he solicits, importunes, commands, encourages or requests another person to engage in specific conduct which would constitute such crime or an attempt to commit such crime or which would establish complicity in its commission or attempted commission.
18-2002.Innocence or incapacity of person solicited -- No defense. It is no defense to a prosecution for criminal solicitation that the person solicited could not be guilty of the crime solicited owing to criminal irresponsibility or other legal incapacity or exemption, or to unawareness of the criminal nature of the conduct solicited or of the defendant’s criminal purpose or to other factors precluding the mental state required for the commission of the crime in question.
18-2003.Renunciation of criminal purpose. It is an affirmative defense that the defendant, after soliciting another person to commit a crime, persuaded him not to do so or otherwise prevented the commission of the crime, under circumstances manifesting a complete and voluntary renunciation of his criminal purpose.
18-2004.Punishment for criminal solicitation. Every person who is found guilty of criminal solicitation to commit a crime is punishable in the same manner and to the same extent as for an attempt to commit such crime.

Any person who solicits any other person, or conspires with any other person to commit any crime against property or person with the specific intent to halt, impede, obstruct or interfere with the lawful management, cultivation or harvesting of trees or timber or with the lawful management or operations of agricultural or mining industries, if the act is performed to effect the object of the solicitation or conspiracy, shall be guilty of a felony; provided however, that any person who solicits any other person or conspires with any other person to stage a peaceful demonstration which is not designed, planned, or intended to involve the commission of any crime against property or person shall not be guilty of any crime under the provision of this section.
