1. “"It shall be unlawful for any person with lascivious intent to entice, allure, persuade or invite, or attempt to entice, allure, persuade or invite, any child under 15 years of age to enter any vehicle, room, house, office or other place for the purpose of proposing to such child the performance of an act which constitutes the offense of sodomy or for the purpose of proposing the fondling or feeling of the sexual or genital parts of such child or the breast of such child, or for the purpose of committing an aggravated assault on such child, or for the purpose of proposing that such child fondle or feel the sexual or genital parts of such person. "Any person violating the provisions of this section shall, for the first violation, be punished by a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 or by confinement for a term not to exceed five years, or by both fine and imprisonment; and any person who shall be convicted for the second violation of this section shall be punished by confinement in the penitentiary for not less than two nor more than 10 years, and such person shall not be eligible for probation. (Acts 1967, No. 388, p. 976; Code 1975, § 13-1-114.)"”

2. “"The evidence introduced at trial tended to show that Tedder, while wearing only a 'g-string,' invited the children into his trailer, where he showed them sexually explicit pictures of himself and his wife. Some of the pictures shown to the *Page 1186 children were of the act of fellatio. From this evidence, the jury could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Tedder invited the children into his trailer for the purpose of making a sexual proposal to them. In fact, as recognized by Presiding Judge Bowen and Judge McMillan in their dissenting opinion, although § 13A-6-69 does not require that a proposal actually be made, the jury could have found that Tedder's actions constituted the beginning of the proposal itself. The statute does not require that the proposal be communicated by verbal expression or that the proposal be manifested in any particular form or fashion. " (Emphasis added.)”
