Moninger was convicted for 3 counts of luring and 1 count of attempted sexual conduct with a minor. He was ultimately sentenced to consecutive sentences for each count. The Arizona Supreme Court here questions whether each soliciting text message can be charged as a separate count of luring or whether the group of messages should just be one charge.

The Court also considers whether, as a matter of statutory interpretation, luring in this context is a probation eligible offense under Arizona law.
