Los Angeles Child Pornography Defense Lawyer

Beverly Hills Sex Crimes Attorney

Child pornography refers to material depicting children being in a state of undress, engaged in erotic poses or actual sexual activity. The internet has resulted in a massive increase in the availability, accessibility and volume of child pornography. The production, dissemination, or possession of child pornography is illegal under both California State Law and under Federal Law. Both State and Federal Law carry serious penalties, including lengthy prison sentences for any criminal offense related to child pornography.

An individual may not have intentionally downloaded child pornography, an automated program or virus may have placed files on your computer without your knowledge. And yet, you may find yourself in a situation where you are now facing a criminal investigation or charges of child pornography.

It is essential that you consult a Los Angeles sex crimes defense lawyer as soon as possible, in order to help ensure that your rights and future freedom are protected – even in the face of serious child pornography allegations.

Child Pornography May Be a Federal Offense!

As stated above, a child pornography charge may be a federal offense. Federal sentencing guidelines regarding child pornography differentiate between production, distribution and purchasing/receiving, and also include variations in severity based on the age of the child involved in the materials, with significant increases in penalties when the offense involves a prepubescent child or a child under the age of 12. In addition, Federal law makes it a criminal offense to pander or solicit child pornography.

In these situations, you will need an experienced Los Angeles child pornography defense attorney on your side who can be effective in both State and Federal Court and who isn’t afraid of going up against experienced and aggressive Federal prosecutors and Federal law enforcement agents.
