Criminal Law Pornography

The Innocence Legal Team has nearly four decades of dealing with sex crimes, including child pornography. The laws have become increasingly complex as the definition of pornography has changed.
A charge of child pornography involves anyone who is seventeen-years-old and younger. False allegations may include the display, the exchange, sale and production of child pornography. Possession is a felony and penalties increase if your case includes exchange or the sale of child pornography using the internet.
Because law enforcement considers child pornography a serious threat to our children, the federal government has taken the role of protecting children from their exploitation by the industry. Today, the Federal Bureau of Investigation devotes much of its financial and investigative resources to convicting those accused of the crime.
- Convictions of possession alone may by punished by 10 years in a federal prison.
- Exchange of child pornographic images on the internet carries a 5-year mandatory minimum sentence.
- Multiple offences or prior involvement will be punished with sentences in excess of 20 years.
- All convictions require life-long registration as a sex offender.
If You Have Been Accused
If you have been accused of any association with child pornography, we strongly advise that you do not engage in the following:
- Pretext Phone Call: do not engage in phone calls from the alleged victim or accuser. The call may be a pretext for disarming you or offering to drop charges if you admit your guilt. These are phone calls are arranged by the police to gain evidence to convict you.
- Search and Seizure: do not interfere with search and seizure efforts by the police. Any action you take to prevent a search will compromise your case.
- Police Interviews: do not speak to the police or investigators without an attorney.
These skilled interrogators will use anything you say to prove your guilt and you need an and experience, aggressive attorney to protect you.
