Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware Child Pornography Charges Defense
While it may be possible to "accidentally" find child porn downloaded onto your computer, it's highly unlikely that you will face federal-level child pornography charges for such an offense. Federal Internet sex crime charges result from lengthy investigations involving local and federal law enforcement, often in sting operations.
One of the most surprising things about child pornography is that you can face serious federal child porn charges even if an actual child was not used to make a child porn image. If you used computer images of several children to create a composite image of a virtual child engaged in sex acts, which you then distributed over the Internet, you can be found guilty of manufacture and distribution of child porn.
As a federal criminal defense lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience, Mark S. Greenberg understands how serious child pornography charges are and the stigma associated with possession, distribution or manufacture of "kiddie porn" resulting from information gained from your computer.
The consequences of a conviction in a federal Internet sex crimes case can be severe. The child pornography statutes can carry mandatory minimum sentences in federal court. A conviction also means registering on the national sex offender registry.
Internet sex crimes cases are challenging, but Mr. Greenberg is up to the challenge. Contact his office to schedule a consultation at our Center City, Philadelphia location or at a location convenient to you. Call us directly at 267-439-4879 or toll free at 877-297-6972.
Minimizing the Damage, Challenging the Case against You
Search and seizure violations and lack of probable cause can be a factor in your defense if law enforcement violated your rights.
If your case comes down to computer evidence, that is a significant challenge. Mr. Greenberg has worked with top computer forensic experts from across the United States in order to build a case for his clients' innocence or to negotiate the best possible plea bargain. Misleading Web domain names and other technical issues may play a role in building an effective defense.
As your attorney, Mr. Greenberg will review the facts of your case and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses. Trial is an option, but if an analysis of the evidence suggests that you are unlikely to avoid a conviction, you may want to pursue a strategy that minimizes the potential consequences. Mr. Greenberg's negotiation skills and reputation among federal prosecutors in the tri-state area can contribute to a more favorable outcome.
