Child Pornography Cases

Child pornography is defined as the visual depiction of children under the age of 18 engaging in sexually explicit conduct. It is illegal under 18 U.S.C. Chapter 110, Sexual Exploitation and Abuse of Children. In order to prove you guilty of this crime, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the pornographic material was viewed, downloaded, or disseminated from your computer. This often involves a thorough investigation of the case by computer forensic experts and law enforcement. During this investigative stage, it is important that you have a Delaware child pornography lawyer from our firm in your corner to protect your legal rights, ensure that you are treated fairly, and do not say anything that might be incriminating. Law enforcement investigators are especially aggressive in sex crimes involving children and may try to intimidate you in an effort to elicit damaging statements. Having a competent attorney acting as a buffer throughout this process can be extremely helpful.

The crime of child pornography may be prosecuted at the local, state, or federal level. Consumption of child pornography is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. Distribution of child pornography is punishable by up to 15 years in prison.

Because of the devastating social stigma of being convicted of a child pornography crime, it is vital that you obtain thorough and competent legal representation from our firm immediately.
