Law Enforcement Will Use Every Tool Available to Bring the Toughest Case Against You
Many individuals believe that simply viewing child porn in their basement is not a crime because they do not share it with anyone else. The main problem is that most pornography is obtained from peer-to-peer file-sharing networks. Once a person is on these networks, they automatically share files and, therefore, distribute child pornography.
If you are caught sharing files with other individuals, the penalties for child pornography charges increase dramatically. The mandatory minimum sentence for distribution of child pornography charge is 10-20 years in prison, not to mention the requirement to register as a sex offender and the payment of enormous fines. At our Detroit criminal defense firm, we will protect your rights and fight to minimize your consequences as well as to have your sex crime charges dismissed.
Smartphones Open Up New Risks for Teens Regarding the Distribution of Child Pornography
Young individuals often fail to realize that downloading images on their phones of those under the age of 18 is a crime. Once this image is passed on to friends, the charge becomes distribution of child pornography. Many teenagers mistakenly believe that if they are dating the individual or have a relationship with the person, a crime is not being committed. The relationship with the individual does not matter according to the law.
If you have images or videos on your phone or have found pictures and videos on your child’s phone, you must consult with a Michigan sex crimes lawyer. Videos can increase the mandatory penalties for these types of charges dramatically.
