Understanding Child Pornography Charges in New York
Being accused of a child pornography offense is a serious matter that can have significant legal and personal repercussions. In New York, child pornography is defined as the visual depiction of a child under the age of 16 engaging in sexual activity or posing in a sexually suggestive manner.
The production, possession, sale, and distribution of child pornography is a serious crime.
Child pornography cases will be founded on physical evidence, including physical photographs or video tape and digital versions of these on cell phones, tablets, drives, laptops, or personal computers. It takes experts in computer forensics and search and seizure rights to effectively investigate and build compelling defenses against such evidence and the manner in which it was obtained.
If you are facing child pornography charges in New York, it is crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can provide qualified legal representation and guide you through the complex legal process.
Child Pornography Under State and Federal Law
State and federal law prohibits child pornography and enforce harsh terms of imprisonment and fines for the convicted. Lifetime sex offender registration may also be required. In New York, even the possession of a single image or video depicting a minor in a sexual situation is a felony offense. Enhanced penalties may apply for possessing multiple images.
In cases involving crossed state lines or national borders or instances where a child pornography or sex trafficking operation is suspected, federal charges may be filed. Federal penalties are typically more severe, and mandatory minimum terms of imprisonment may apply.
Enhanced penalties will apply if the defendant has prior convictions or aggravated circumstances apply, such as violence or sexual abuse in conjunction with the images.
