The offense of "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" is covered in virginia code 18.2-371.1. It makes it against the law for an adult to encourage, assist, or induce a minor to engage in illegal activities like underage drinking, drug use, or criminal behavior. Violation of this law can result in severe consequences, such as fines and imprisonment. By holding adults accountable for actions that contribute to a minor's delinquency, the law aims to safeguard minors from exploitation and harmful influence.
