Criminal cases are often complicated. There are two sides to every story, and it is important that the court sees the situation clearly. We can help defend you in your criminal case and make sure your perspective is heard.
In Fiscal Year 2024, of those convicted of child pornography, 45.8% were found guilty of possessing it, 43.1% of trafficking it, and 11.1% of receiving it.
Child pornography charges encompass having, watching, or sharing content that depicts minors engaged in sexual activity. Sometimes, these cases are made more difficult due to the use of the internet to transmit the content.
Investigations can span counties or states because federal laws also prohibit child pornography. These laws include 18 U.S.C. §§ 2251, 2252, and 2252A, which deal with the production of child sexual abuse material, as well as possession and distribution, or receipt.
Because downloading child pornography is illegal, using peer-to-peer networks or cloud storage to transfer it across state lines brings federal charges. These cases are usually prosecuted by federal law enforcement.
Getting arrested for child pornography can feel like your world is falling apart. The steps you take after getting arrested are crucial to the outcome of your child pornography case. The first step is to stay calm. Do not explain yourself to the investigators or give a statement without speaking to an attorney. Remember, anything you say can and will be used against you later.
Do not destroy any evidence on your computer or electronic devices. Turning off your computer or deleting files can be used as evidence destruction. Instead of making things worse for yourself, hire a child pornography attorney immediately.
Your lawyer can go over
your case with you, identify if your rights were violated during the search and seizure, and begin crafting a defense strategy based on the circumstances of your arrest.

California investigators use digital evidence to solve child pornography crimes. For example, investigators watch internet usage through peer-to-peer file sharing programs and social media accounts to identify illegal activity. Law enforcement may even pretend to be a minor or someone distributing illegal images in order to catch suspects.
Many investigations are handled by Federal agencies as well as local law enforcement. Since these investigations can be very aggressive, you should not speak with anyone about the charges without consulting an attorney.
The penalties for child pornography are some of the toughest in California. In addition to prison sentences that can span decades, convicted offenders must register as sex offenders and face strict limitations on where they can work and live. Convicted felons also struggle to maintain relationships with family members, and their reputation can be ruined.
Hiring a lawyer is the most crucial step in navigating a child pornography accusation. Defense attorneys understand how digital evidence works and know how prosecutors have to prove their allegations. Your attorney can find holes in the prosecutor’s case by verifying that the search warrant was legal and executed within the scope of the warrant.
Your Garden Grove child pornography attorney can then work to get the charges lessened and explore alternative sentencing options with the prosecution.
Texas child pornography lawyers represent clients charged with crimes relating to the possession, trafficking, or promotion of illegal material depicting minors. They carefully review how evidence was gathered, defend you against unlawful searches, pick apart digital forensic findings, and construct a defense for their client.
Child pornography lawyers discuss options with prosecutors, stand up for their clients’ constitutional rights, and mitigate or dismiss charges when possible.
If you have been accused of child pornography, do not delay in seeking legal assistance. Contact The Law Offices of Jacqueline Goodman today.
