Aggressive Defense Against Child Pornography Accusations
Child pornography can include video, photographs or other images of children, either portrayed in a sexual context or used for sexual gratification. Our Missouri criminal defense attorneys can provide a vigorous defense of all child porn charges:
- Possession of child pornography
- Receipt of child pornography via the Internet
- Intentional or unintentional distribution of child porn via the Internet
- Production of child porn
A sex crime conviction can follow you for the rest of your life, particularly when children are involved. You may be required to register as a sex offender, which will affect your employment and housing opportunities. With your liberty at stake, it is important to hire a law firm with proven experience in handling sensitive cases of this nature.
False Allegations And Unintentional Downloads
Oftentimes, a person may be charged with a crime because the use of a peer-to-peer file-sharing service or BitTorrent has led to the transmission of images that the person never intended to receive.
The police have developed means of accessing your computer from remote and unrelated sites. Make sure that you are safe from these intrusions and from false charges that you intentionally accessed child pornography. Don’t allow yourself or your family matters to be hauled into court because of unsolicited items that are sent to you by strangers.
You may find yourself facing these charges even if you are unaware that the materials are present on your computer. File-sharing programs such as BitTorrent often result in unwanted images being accidentally downloaded to your computer. Deleting such images will not help as they are stored on the computer’s hard drive. We will examine your hard drive and your history of Internet searches, and attack the validity of a search warrant in order to provide you with best possible defense.
