Brooklyn Child Pornography

Being accused and charged with a child pornography offense or other sex crime such as date rape, statutory rape, spousal rape, sodomy, indecent exposure, or forcible touching is a serious matter. A Brooklyn Child Pornography Lawyer can tell you that even if you are innocent, these types of allegations may damage your reputation in the community, and could create problems with finding employment and housing. If you are convicted of a sex crime, the penalties for the possession or distribution of child pornography are harsh, and may include prison time, fines, probation and the requirement to register as a sex offender.

Child Pornography consists of any type of image or picture that either depicts a child engaged in a sexual activity or a child without clothing. The child must be under 18 years of age. This type of crime is considered to be a state offense as well as a federal offense. Sex crimes against children are treated aggressively by both the District Attorney and the U.S. Attorney. They have recently modified what is considered to be child pornography to include other types of imagery, such as cartoon images and other characterizations.

Because children are the victims of this type of sex crime, law enforcement agencies have increased their efforts to end all forms of child pornography. For instance, the police can raid a child pornography organization and obtain the credit card information of their patrons. Police may then track down those customers by using their credit card information and charge them as well.
