Importunity means persistent salesmanship.
(in the US) Importuning is NOT a crime of moral turpitude.
Importuning means to ask repeatedly or to beg for items. One could say a young child whom often asks over and over for things, to be importuning. Some synonyms would include beg, harass, or implore.
I understand it is the kind of thing that George Michael gets caught for occasionally, doing to men in toilets. Also what a prostitute tries to do as a man walks past. That was the old answer that was disturbing. The real answer is "asked repeatedly".
Without knowing the specifics of the case.....Importuning most often is related to an adult asking something sexual in nature from a child. That is what we hear about most often in the evening news. However it could be a male who continually makes sexual advances to a woman, even after she told him no. A person trying to solicite sex from a prostitute could be charged with importuning. I say male to female because most often it is a male going after a female, although the reverse does happen also. In Ohio a person found guilty of importuning is classified as a level I sex offender and has to register their home address with the county sheriff for 15 years (I think). Hope that helps!
Yes it is a felony (5) in the state of ohio, you have to check your local state code for more information.
