Possession of Child Pornography Defense

The prosecution's case relies on receiving solid evidence of the child pornography as well as proving intent. In other words, it is not enough to convict someone because of a pop-up on the screen. Several defenses available challenge the prosecution's case:

• Did someone have access to our client's computer? Computer hacking is a growing concern, especially as it becomes more prevalent among child sex offenders. With limited information, someone who is good with computers can deposit their inappropriate files on another person's computer.
• Did our client know the pictures were illegal? Porn is easily accessible on the web and in videos. Much of the content is questionable, but legal. Additionally, young girls can easily look far older than their actual age due to hair, make-up and Photoshop retouching. It is the prosecution's burden to prove our client purposely sought out pictures or videos of minors.
• Did our client know the files were there? Viruses and computer bugs can deposit questionable content on a private computer without someone realizing it.

We put our experience to work building a solid defense that pokes holes in the prosecution's case. Additionally, we know how to properly employ a computer forensic expert to help us uncover the truth behind the accusation. You can have the peace of mind knowing you have a strong and capable attorney fighting on your behalf.
