Child Pornography Charges
Child Pornography Charges in Washington
The fastest growing areas of criminal prosecution in this country today involve Internet sex crimes and the downloading, possession, sale or distribution of child pornography. Everyday, in fact, there are local, state and federal law enforcement agents out looking for people to arrest. With the amount of government funding available for these initiatives, even Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has gotten involved, and there is a very real chance of federal charges being filed against you if you are investigated. If you have been arrested or investigated on a charge involving child pornography, you need strong legal advocacy and knowledgeable advice from a child pornography lawyer. Contact one of our child pornography lawyers if you need that kind of representation and guidance right now.
Seattle Child Pornography Lawyers
"Sting" operations, a favorite tactic used by many law enforcement agencies, are often conducted in ways that violate individuals' rights. Common procedural issues that can be raised in your defense involve probable cause, entrapment, and illegal search and seizure. If you have been accused of being in possession of child pornography, it is critical that you speak to a sex crimes attorney as soon as possible.
False Allegations of Child Pornography
Technical defenses involving Internet porn include the fact that sometimes incriminating images can get onto a computer's hard drive via pop-up advertisements. In other cases, computers have been "hijacked" without the owner's knowledge and used as relay stations for the transmission of child pornography. Sometimes the images come from "legitimate" (legal) sites ostensibly devoted to adult porn only. Sometimes people "click" the wrong link by mistake. When others have access to the computer, even more issues are raised. If you have been falsely accused of a sex crime involving child pornography contacting a sex crimes attorney may be your last line of defense.

Guilty? What if you did download child porn?
Sometimes people make mistakes and the government discovers those mistakes. The potential consequences to you are severe, but there are ways to mitigate and negotiate these cases so that you do not spend a long time in prison. You need advice from a child pornography attorney who can recommend a sexual deviancy evaluator, who can prepare you to effectively participate in that evaluation, and who can help you find a treatment program that will help keep you out of prison. You need a Seattle lawyer who can understand your situation and communicate that to the Prosecutor. Without experienced counsel assisting you based on your situation the chances of a good outcome are remote. You need experience and aggressive counsel, and this is just as true when you are guilty as when you are innocent.
The important thing to remember is that our child pornography defense attorneys will not only provide you with strong advocacy in the legal process, we'll provide the answers you need to make good decisions regarding the case and help to resolve it in a way that makes sense for you and your life.
