Los Angeles Child Pornography Criminal Attorney
Child Pornography Lawyer in Los Angeles
State and Federal authorities have been investing substantial resources in the investigation and prosecution of internet crimes related to child pornography. California Penal Code Section 311.11 makes illegal the possession of child pornography. Criminal charges of child pornography may be prosecuted by the government in either state or federal court. A conviction of this
sex crime is punishable by prison or county jail, fines and sex offender registration. There are a variety of criminal charges related to child pornography:
- Possession of Child Pornography
- Distribution of Child Pornography
- Possession of Obscene Material
- Prepubescent Enhancement
- Penetration Enhancement
- Quantity Enhancements
- Peer to Peer Sharing
- Internet Chat Rooms
The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual was in actual possession of the child porn images and that they were unlawful. In order for the images to be considered unlawful, they must not be digitally-created. Furthermore, the prosecution must also prove that the individual was aware that the child pornography images were on their computer.
At Okabe & Haulhalter, our child pornography lawyers will aggressively work to raise reasonable doubt about what the images actually depict, and whether the individual's computer could have been hacked, or was infected by a virus.
