Are you aware that simply receiving an email that depicts an actual or simulated sexual act by an individual under the age of 18 could result in your being charged under the California Child Pornography laws? In addition, both state and federal laws are in place that make it a crime to produce, distribute or sell materials that exploit or portray a minor child.
In spite of the fact that the material may not be considered legally obscene and may not involve nudity, courts have held that material including films and images obtained, shared or distributed through the use of computer technology and the internet may not involve children under the age of 18.
Internet pornography charges are often prosecuted at the Federal level and are significantly more difficult to defend because they require different strategies. When you are charged it is critical that you understand whether the charges you are facing are being filed by the state, by the federal government or by both of them. As with all other crimes that involve children, a significant social stigma is attached to child pornography.
The complexity of computer technology can affect child pornography cases and must be considered when defending these crimes. It is also important when computers are involved that your defense team possesses sufficient expertise in cyber-crimes.
