Pennsylvania Child Pornography Crimes Attorney
Possession of sexually explicit material with anyone under the age of 18 is not protected anywhere under the First Amendment. Child pornography, in any form, is illegal in the United States and carries mandatory minimum sentences as well as a social stigma that can haunt you for the rest of your life.
The law office of Patrick Artur & Associates is dedicated to defending the rights of clients accused of possessing child pornography throughout the Philadelphia area. Our experienced online sex crimes attorneys know the laws and provide you with aggressive legal representation that may keep you out of jail and save your reputation.
If you are facing charges of child pornography, contact our criminal defense lawyer today, and discuss your legal concerns. We will fight hard to help reduce, dismiss, or alter the charges against you, or help you avoid trial altogether.
We help those charged with illegal child pornography crimes such as:
- Online solicitation of minors for involuntary deviate sexual intercourse (IDSI) - chat rooms, e-mail, telephone, cell phone
- Taking or posting explicit pictures or pornographic images of a minor on the internet
- Purchasing child pornography over the internet - photographs, computer-generated images, films or videos, Asia file sharing
- Possession of sexually explicit images of a minor - file sharing, e-mails
When advertisement "pop up's" come up on you computer screen-either photos of YOUNG girls or photos of girls from another country-a user who typically has to pay to view them may not know the girls are under age. If you get busted the feds will request credit card transaction records of what has been purchased in order to get a search warrant. In addition to taking your computer to check for files they will also take any printed matter, CDs or DVDs and any other devices containing child pornography in your possession.
International Child carries every registered child pornography photo and every time someone views one, your information is collected and eventually the authorities are notified. Whether the material in your possession shows or appears to show sexually explicit conduct, or even conveys an impression of sexually explicit conduct, law enforcement authorities can build a strong case against you on child pornography charges. Sharing a photo is equally punishable as actually taking an illegal photo of a minor.
Don't risk your career, reputation or freedom thinking a sex crime will go away. If you are convicted on child pornography charges, you face prison time and branding as a sex offender that can plague your life for years to come. Contact our Internet sex crimes attorney at Patrick Artur & Associates to discuss your case. You have rights. We can help you protect them.
