* [[spoiler:Dahlia Hawthorne]] got her start at an early age in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' by convincing/seducing Terry Fawles into [[spoiler: conspiring with her to fake a kidnapping.]]

* Johann in ''{{Anime/Monster}}''.

* Not suprisingly, many LoliconAndShotacon hentai have a plot along these lines.

* In ''Film/LawnDogs'', 10 year old Devon and 21 year old Trent become friends... at ''Devon's'' insistence. Devon later convinces Trent to accompany her while they steal chickens from a barn, and convinces him to moon her father and a police officer.

* Not suprisingly, many Loli and Shota hentai have a plot along these lines.

** In a strange reverse, Kotaro has slowly been turning [[{{Shotacon}} Ayaka]] towards hating kids.

* Negi Springfield of ''{{Negima}}'' has, [[ChasteHero unintentionally]], [[ChickMagnet turned about a third of his class into Shotacons]].

* The film ''LittleSweetheart'' plays with this, having a normal nine year old girl, Elizabeth, being corrupted by the slightly younger Thelma, who is an amoral psychopathic [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]].

* The movie ''Matchstick Men'' does this, though [[spoiler:the girl isn't actually a minor.]]
* The not-too-notable Creator/{{Disney}} film ''NoDepositNoReturn'' features a pair of kids who talk a couple of honest, inept crooks into kidnapping them to pay off some not-so-honest crooks.

* In the original ''{{Lolita}}'' book, the pedophile protagonist Humbert Humbert claimed he was seduced by the titular girl, who had known about sex well before she met him. A not uncommon reading of the story has the reader believe Humbert's claim, even though [[spoiler:he's an UnreliableNarrator who was just trying to justify his molestation of the girl in question]].

* There was a bit in ''TheManShow'' where the Man Show Boy stood outside a liquor store asking the patrons to buy him beer, telling one guy he had a hottie back at his treehouse. In the end, one guy did get him a six-pack. There was also another segment where the boy was actually selling the beer like a lemonade stand.

* Dahlia Hawthorne got her start at an early age in ''PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' by convincing/seducing Terry Fawles into [[spoiler: conspiring with her to fake a kidnapping.]]
* Somewhere in the ''KingdomHearts'' continuity, scientist Ansem the Wise's youngest apprentice (8-year-old Ienzo) was the one who convinced him to [[spoiler:build a laboratory designed specifically for studies of Darkness and the heart, with varying levels of cruelty. For the record, the result was Ienzo and the other Apprentices condemning Ansem to a world of nothingness after their experiments got too inhumane and he started to take a stand against it.]]

* It could be argued that this is what happened to Artie of ''{{Concession}}'', as [[spoiler:Chelsie was revealed to be hypersexual, and Artie wasn't capable of understanding what he was doing when he slept with her. However, Artie was at the time under the psychic influence of Joel, which probably had a bigger impact on his behaviour.]]

* The not-too-notable {{Disney}} film ''NoDepositNoReturn'' features a pair of kids who talk a couple of honest, inept crooks into kidnapping them to pay off some not-so-honest crooks.

** Would you believe the sexual version was also a [[ShowWithinAShow story within a story]] in a PiersAnthony book, ''Firefly''? ([[AuthorAppeal Okay, maybe you would]].)

* Dewey from ''MalcolmInTheMiddle'' does this every so often.

** It is not technically illegal for a child to see an R rated movie without a parent or guardian, but it is a universal policy that is treated almost as if it were. So similar to the above, we have children trying to convince employees or adults to sneak them into movies.

* Underaged children sometimes ask adults to illegally buy liquor and/or cigarettes for them at stores ("Shoulder Tapping"). The police have responded by setting up sting operations with an underaged kid asking an adult to do this: if the adult does it, they're arrested.

Under US law (and other countries as well), there is a crime known as CorruptionOfAMinor, in which adults coerce children into committing crimes, or helping them to commit crimes.

* In 1950s England, there was the notorious Bentley case (portrayed in the movie ''Let Him Have It''), where 19-year-old Derek Bentley (who however had a mental age of about 11) and his 16-year-old accomplice Chris Craig were interrupted by police in attempting to burgle a warehouse. Craig shot and killed a policeman (it has also been claimed that PC Miles was actually killed by a stray bullet from a police gun), and both Bentley and Craig were found guilty of this; Bentley was hanged because Craig was too young. This case is said to have led to the abolition of capital punishment in Britain.

* Not suprisingly, many Loli and Shota hentai have a plot along these lines. Also see the RealLife section below.

* Goth-loli Ekaterina in ''SeikonNoQwaser'' immediately identifies Hana's repressed predilections, and brazenly tells her she will be Ekaterina's sex slave. It's been a downward spiral into decadence for Hana since, as Katja teases and manipulates her through her vulnerability. In the second season, Katja dicthes Hana for new character Ayame.

* In more than one tragic instance of LoopholeAbuse, young girls have sold their bodies to pedophiles for some quick money, fully knowing they cannot possibly be sentenced guilty by law for prostitution, while said men (and sometimes women) get charged for indecent assault or non-consentual intercourse which means a long time in prison. Suffice to say, laws have yet to catch up on this practice.
* 4chan was created by Christopher Poole when he was only 15 years old, and children as young as 10 are known to frequent the site.

* The film ''LittleSweetheart'' plays with this, having a normal nine year old girl, Elizabeth, being corrupted by the slightly younger Thelma, who is an amoral psychopath [[ThEcHeSsMaStEr chessmaster]].

Suffice to say, laws have yet to catch up on this practice.

Under US law (and possibly other countries as well), there is a crime known as CorruptionOfAMinor, in which adults coerce children into committing crimes, or helping them to commit crimes.

Sometimes children can convince adults to break the law. [[ChildrenAreInnocent Like-OMG!! How on earth is that possible?]] They could turn on the charm, particularly on a gullible adult or one with low self-esteem, or one who just likes kids and wants to be nice, or maybe one who sees the kid as an equal or a friend. Other times, the kid simply bribes the adult. This is pretty much the favourite technique of the EnfantTerrible.

* Not suprisingly, many Loli and Shota hentai have a plot along these lines.

** Probably because this is NOT the act of a healthy, well-adjusted kid.
