OPINION
Aрpellant-defendant Kevin Kuypers appeals his conviction for Child Solicitation, 1 a class C felony. Kuypers argues thаt evidence that he engaged in an online chat *897 with a believed-to-be fifteen-year-old girl, in which he neither specifiсally asked her to do anything nor made specific arrangements to meet in person, is insufficient to support the cоnviction. Finding the evidence sufficient, we affirm.
FACTS
The facts herein are undisputed. In early July 2006, employees of the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office and the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department embarked on an Internet investigation involving the solicitation of children for sex. As part of the investigation, the investigators created a profile on the Yahoo member director of a fifteen-year-old girl named Samantha.
On July 11, 2006, “Samantha” was contacted by “mugs_32778.” Tr. p. 69-70. An instant messagе chat ensued between Samantha and mugs_32778:
mugs_32778: so tell me about yourself

State’s Ex. 4. At some point during the chat, Kuypers sent Samantha four pictures of himself. The chat ended with no specific plans to meet being made and mugs_32778 never attempted to call “Samantha.”
Police eventually leаrned that mugs_32778 was Kuypers. On August 2, 2006, they went to Kuypers’s residence, questioned him, and ultimately arrested him. On August 11, 2006, the State charged Kuypers with clаss C felony child solicitation, and a jury found him guilty as charged on March 1, 2007. The trial court sentenced him to four years imprisonment, all suspended, and three years of probation. Kuypers now appeals.
DISCUSSION AND DECISION
Kuypers argues that the evidence is insufficiеnt to support his conviction. In reviewing Kuypers’s claim, we will neither reweigh the evidence nor judge the credibility of witnesses.
McHenry v. State,
The child solicitation statute provides as follows:
(a) As used in this section, “solicit” means to command, authorize, urge, incite, request, or advise an individual:
[[Image here]]
(4) by using a computer network (as defined in IC 35-43-2-3(a));
[[Image here]]
to perform an act described in subsection (b) or (c).
[[Image here]]
(c) A persоn at least twenty-one (21) years of age who knowingly or intentionally solicits ... an individual the person believes to be a child at least fourteen (14) years of age but less than sixteen (16) years of age, to engage in:
(1) sexual intercourse;
(2) deviate sexual conduct; or
(3) any fondling or touching intended to arоuse or satisfy the sexual desires of either the child or the older person;
commits child solicitation, a Class D felony. Howеver, the offense is a Class C felony if it is committed by using a computer network (as defined in IC 35-43-2-3(a))....
(d) In a prosecution under this section, including a prosecution for attempted solicitation, the state is not required to prove that the person soliсited the child to engage in an act described in subsection (b) or (c) at some immediate time.
I.C. § 35-42-4-6. “Authorize” means, in relevant part, “[e]ndow (a person, body, etc.) with authority ...” The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary 151 (Thumb Index ed.1993). “Request” means “[a]sk to be favoured with or given (a thing), ask for; express а wish or desire that, to do; ask to be allowed to do; ask (a person) to do something.” Id. at 2556 (emphases in original). “Advise” means, in relevant part, “[r]eeommend.” Id. at 32.
Here, the facts are undisputed. Kuy-pers engaged in an online conversation with a person he believed to be a fifteen-year-old girl. In the course of thаt conversation, he elicited information regarding her age, height weight, and breast size. *899 He asked what she likes to do for а “good time,” she replied, “name it,” and he described his idea of a “good time”: “bent over your table with my d*ck in your p*ssy, while I smack your [a]ss ...” State’s Ex. 4. He asked her if she likes “doggie,” clearly referring to a specific position for sexual intercoursе. Id. Kuy-pers then asked her if she had “meet [sic] off line,” and after she responded “yes,” he asked, “so when can i take you оut[?]” Id. He explained, “i just never been in indy all that much and dont no [sic] where anything is-” Id. Kuypers also sent Samantha four pictures of himself.
We believe that an inference may reasonably drawn from this evidence that Kuypers was, at the least, expressing a wish or desire that Samantha meet him in person and еngage in, among other things, sexual intercourse. He asked Samantha to meet him offline; that she responded by explaining that she was grounded does not change the fact that he made the request, that he recommended a course of action, or that he implicitly gave her permission— authority — to meet him in person and engage in sexual activity.
Kuypers arguеs that because their conversation did not include details, he is im-permissibly being punished for his thoughts. He is wrong. Kuypers did more than fantasize about having sex with a fifteen-year-old girl; he sought one out on the Internet, described his fantasy in detail, and suggested that they meet in person. Thus, he acted.
Our General Assembly has seen fit to criminalize those acts by enacting a law banning child solicitаtion via the Internet. There is no requirement that a solicitor actually complete the act of meeting with his or her victim to commit the crime of child solicitation.
LaRose v. State,
Here, it may reasonably be inferred from the evidence that Kuypеrs requested and advised Samantha to meet with him and engage in, among other things, sexual intercourse. The absence of details does not make him any less guilty. We find, therefore, that the State presented sufficient evidence to support Kuypers’s conviction for child solicitation.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
