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.
