Child Pornography Cases Require a Lot of Experience

We wholeheartedly believe that it’s the absolute duty of a criminal defense lawyer to understand and competently represent people who are charged with child pornography, be it possession and distribution. Even those accused of manufacturing and creating child pornography deserve a zealous defense. While we certainly agree that any type of abuse is morally wrong and criminal, there are many gray areas when dealing with the state and federal authorities.

It’s been said that porn is the largest industry in the world.

Whether that’s true or not, there are so many types and variations of sexual depictions on the web. Much of this is completely legal. But you can easily cross a line into child porn, and if the material is viewed and downloaded onto a hard drive or any other device that captures these images, you could be accused of possession.

But there are many questions that come up after you’ve been accused.

Do other people have access to your computer or mobile device? Was the material actually downloaded and stored on the device? Was the material accidentally viewed but immediately deleted?

You may not intend to go looking for child pornography, but it’s a slippery slope, especially if you find material in which the actors or abused individuals are underage or barely legal.
