Tampa Child Pornography Attorneys

Under both federal and state law, it is illegal to possess, distribute, trade, sell, or create pornographic materials that feature, exploit, or portray a minor.  Child pornography is considered any visual image that depicts a child or minor stimulating or engaging in sexually explicit activity. Furthermore, any visual image that depicts a naked child in a sexually suggestive way, or exposes a child’s genitals, is also considered child pornography.  Pornographic images can include photographs, video, digital files, electronic data, magazines, etc.  

Internet technology provides a quick, efficient, and easy way to produce, sell, and distribute child pornography. Because of this, more and more law enforcement agencies are setting up “sting operations” to catch online child pornography perpetrators. However, with all the spam, pop-ups, and viruses now on the Internet, people can easily download child pornographic materials onto their computer or hard drive without even knowing it. Unfortunately, even if you had no intention to download pornographic materials onto your computer, you may still be charged for child pornography crimes.

Child pornography is a serious felony criminal offense that is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Individuals convicted of producing, selling, distributing, possessing, or trading child pornography will face severe legal punishments, including imprisonment in a federal penitentiary for up to 15 years, steep monetary fines, and lifetime registration as a sex offender.  If you have been charged for child pornography crimes, Thomas & Paulk can protect your rights, and make sure you receive the legal justice you deserve.
