Los Angeles Lawyer for Child Pornography Defense

Child Pornography Charges Can Lead to Devastating Repercussions

Child pornography can consist of pictures, videos or other images of children under the age of 18 that are participating in any kind of sexual conduct or acts of a sexual nature. It is illegal to promote, sell, possess, produce or distribute any type of pornographic matter containing children. Internet sex crimes of child pornography are often committed as a means of obtaining or spreading this material.

This is a very serious sex offense, and if you are convicted of child pornography charges, you could face a jail sentence for each pornography charge, based on the number of images you are alleged to have in possession, hefty monetary penalties and a lifetime of being registered as a sex offender. If you or someone you care about has been arrested, or feels that charges are pending, you will need to hire a highly experienced Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer.
