An accusation of a crime involving child pornography or child sexual abuse material (CSAM) can be incredibly serious. These allegations may have immediate effects on a persons life, and they may cause damage to their reputation, career, and relationships even before criminal charges are filed. When addressing charges related to the possession, distribution, or production of unlawful sexual material involving minors, a person will need to understand how to respond and what defenses may be available.
At Noorishad Law, P.C., our Centreville sex crimes defense attorney can provide representation for people who have been accused of CSAM offenses. He can evaluate the evidence, identify constitutional violations that may have been committed by law enforcement officers, develop effective defense strategies, and protect a clients rights during every stage of a criminal case.
The term child pornography is often used to describe materials that depict minors engaging in sexual activities. Courts and legal professionals may also use the term child sexual abuse material as a way to recognize the ways the creation of child pornography involves the exploitation and abuse of children.
Materials classified as CSAM may include any visual depictions that show minors who are engaging in sexually explicit conduct, including sexual intercourse, other sex acts, or nudity. Child pornography may consist of:
A person who is accused of possessing CSAM may be arrested and charged with a sex crime. There are a number of reasons why a person may be accused of child pornography possession, including:
In some cases, a person may not realize that CSAM had been accessed or downloaded on a device they own. Multiple people may share computers or other devices, and it is not always clear who accessed or saved child pornography. Someone may gain access to a person's computer through hacking or malware infections, and CSAM could be downloaded or saved without the owner's knowledge.
Possibly. You may be accused of possessing child pornography based on materials found during a search. However, prosecutors must prove that you knew about the materials and intentionally accessed or retained them. Our lawyer can look at whether files were automatically downloaded or accessed by another party and argue that you had no knowledge of these materials.
Yes. Accessing unlawful material may lead to criminal charges, even if the files were not permanently saved to a device. Temporary internet files, cached data, or other evidence may be used to determine whether CSAM was accessed or retained.
Unless you consent to a search, police officers will usually be required to obtain a search warrant before they can seize your electronic devices or search your home. Our attorney can advise you on how to respond to requests from police, and he can review the procedures followed during searches to determine whether any constitutional violations occurred.
Yes. Federal child pornography cases often involve harsher sentences, and the procedures followed in federal courts are different from what happens in state courts. Federal investigations may be conducted by agencies such as the FBI or the Department of Homeland Security. Charges may be filed at the federal level when an alleged offense involves the use of the internet or the transportation of materials across state lines.
Yes. Digital forensic investigators can take steps to recover files that have been deleted from electronic devices. Those files may be used as evidence in a criminal case. Our lawyer can review digital evidence and determine how it may be addressed when developing defense strategies.
Before answering questions or saying anything to law enforcement officials, it is important to speak to an attorney. Any statements you make to investigators could be used during a criminal case, and explanations or attempts to prove your innocence could be taken out of context and used to argue that you are guilty. By contacting our criminal defense attorney as soon as you become aware of an investigation, you can make sure your rights will be protected.
Criminal charges related to the distribution, production, or promotion of child pornography are treated more seriously by law enforcement than allegations of CSAM possession. Child pornography distribution charges may involve accusations of:
Child pornography production charges can also result in serious penalties, because the creation of CSAM involves the exploitation of children. A person may be accused of an offense such as photographing or recording videos of minors while they engage in sexual conduct. Encouraging, enticing, or coercing a child into creating CSAM can also lead to criminal charges, including in situations where someone is accused of causing a child to livestream sexual content or share photos or videos through text messages or social media.
Anyone who was allegedly involved in the production of child pornography could potentially face criminal charges. A parent may be accused of allowing a child to create sexual materials, or a person may be accused of profiting from the creation of child pornography, and CSAM production charges may apply in these cases.
The defense strategies that may be used in a CSAM case will depend on the specific charges, the facts surrounding an alleged offense, and the evidence that may be involved in a case. Our lawyer can review the evidence and the procedures followed by law enforcement to determine the best steps to take to defend against a conviction.
If CSAM possession charges were based on files that were found on a person's device, our attorney may be able to show that these materials were downloaded without a person's knowledge. He may challenge the claims that a person intentionally accessed and retained CSAM. He can also determine whether police officers may have conducted illegal searches or seizures, and he can take steps to suppress evidence that was obtained through a violation of a person's constitutional rights.
In a situation where you have been accused of a crime involving child pornography, it is important to secure legal representation as quickly as possible. At Noorishad Law, P.C., our lawyer can advise you of what you should and should not do during your case, and he can help you determine what steps to take as you defend against these charges.
