MIAMI CHILD PORNOGRAPHY LAWYER

POSSESSION, PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD PORN CHARGES

Crimes against children are a hot topic. The media is constantly searching for more scandals with greater shock value, which have been instrumental in alarming communities throughout Florida. In response, state and federal lawmakers have enacted laws to take a firm stance against this form of crime. This has included strict laws against the possession, production and distribution of child pornography with very harsh penalties.

Police agencies have also developed task forces which are actively looking for individuals who are in any way involved in the exploitation of minors, developing some ingenious schemes that can lure unsuspecting persons into incriminating themselves. Unfortunately, many law enforcement officers who are involved in investigations may not always be aware what actually constitutes pornography. This can lead to wrongful accusations and futures being placed on the line. For this reason, if you have been arrested or are under investigation, you need to consult a Miami criminal defense attorney at once.

With computers, camera phones and other electronic devices in widespread use by the majority of the population, pictures and videos can be sent and received from almost anywhere. This has made the distribution of child pornography faster, but can also be instrumental in an innocent individual being involved. Under Florida law each picture or depiction can be charged as a separate offense; for example, ten pictures could mean ten separate charges.

Conviction can mean a long prison sentence, larger fines, registration as a sex offender and public embarrassment. A prior criminal history could result in more severe penalties. If you have been arrested or believe that you are under suspicion, you need to take swift action. By working with a skilled defense lawyer who will take aggressive action, you may be able to avoid having charges filed and damage inflicted upon your reputation.
