The defendant is charged [in count __] with misrepresentation of age to entice a minor. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:

For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Committed enticing
a minor
The first element is that the
defendant committed enticing a minor. <Insert the elements from
Enticing a Minor, Instruction 7.6-1.>
Element 2 - Misrepresented age
The second element is that, in the
course of and in furtherance of that offense, the defendant intentionally
misrepresented (his/her) age. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a
result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See

guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
