Child Pornography Lawyers in Fresno
Central Valley Criminal Defense Attorneys
Child pornography laws work to protect children from exploitation in the
production of pornographic material. It is against the law to produce,
transport, distribute, sell, or even possess any materials which involve
or depict minors under the age of 18 participating in lewd acts. Conviction
for child pornography will require a person to register as a sex offender
through the Sex Offender Registration Act.
Possession and control of pornographic materials depicting minors is prohibited
by law. However, the law does not specifically make viewing child pornography
against the law. Saving child pornography to a personal computer or smartphone
will likely qualify as possession or control of the material, as will
downloading the material. Emailing, distributing copies, mailing, or sharing
child pornography is also against California law.
If you are under investigation for child pornography, or have been charged
for possession of child pornography, you risk serious consequences. You
may face serious damage to your reputation within the community, and from
peers and family. It can have a severe impact on your life and job, lasting
for the rest of your life. It is important for you to seek out skilled
and qualified criminal defense counsel to protect your rights and reputation.
