Child Pornography Charges
If any person is found possessing, producing, selling or distributing any material depicting a child under 18 years of age in a sexual manner, they may be charged with child pornography. Child pornography is considered to be a problem on a national level, as it affects the whole country and not just individual states. There are many reasons why a person can end up facing federal child pornography charges in Los Angeles, but one thing is for sure: federal prosecutors and judges have no interest in presuming your innocence. Because of personal biases and opinions about the nature of child pornography charges, your Los Angeles federal criminal defense lawyer will have to work hard to prove that you did not commit the crime you have been charged with.
A child pornography conviction could result in prison time, large fines, probation, and mandatory sex offender registration. If there were multiple materials depicting child pornography, you could be charged separately for each one, and your sentence will increase with each subsequent charge. Keep in mind, if you are convicted, you may be required to become a registered sex offender as part of your sentence. Sex offender status is an undesirable label in today’s society, and many sex offenders are seen as outcasts and treated unfairly because of the stigma attached to this title.
