Child pornography charges encompass a range of serious offenses under both state and federal law. These often include:

• Possession: Holding sexually explicit material involving minors, leading to fines, prison time, and sex offender registration.
• Distribution: Sharing such material electronically or physically, resulting in severe penalties.
• Production: Creating child pornography, which carries some of the most serious legal consequences.
• Receipt: Downloading or receiving illegal content, resulting in significant prison time.
• Solicitation/Exploitation: Coercing a minor into sexual acts for creating pornography, with severe legal repercussions.
• Transporting/Shipping: Moving child pornography across state lines or internationally, often resulting in federal charges.
• Internet-Related Offenses: Engaging in online activities that involve illegal content, usually under federal jurisdiction.
• Conspiracy: Planning with others to commit child pornography crimes, treated with utmost seriousness.
• Sex Trafficking of Minors: Exploiting minors for commercial sex, often linked to pornography, with life-altering penalties.
• Failure to Report: Not reporting known child pornography can lead to legal charges in specific jurisdictions.

Each offense carries serious penalties, ranging from lengthy prison sentences to mandatory registration as a sex offender. We recognize the gravity of these charges and work diligently to build a strong defense.

Child pornography charges are often prosecuted at the federal level, with potential sentences including years of incarceration and lifelong restrictions. The federal system operates with its own set of rules and complexities, making it crucial to have an attorney with specific federal court experience.

At Coontz Law, we specialize in handling federal cases, ensuring that every legal avenue is explored to defend you. We scrutinize evidence, question the legality of search and seizure methods, and work relentlessly to expose any flaws in the prosecution’s case.

Convictions for child pornography offenses come with life-altering consequences, including:

• Lengthy prison sentences
• Hefty fines
• Probation and other restrictions
• Lifetime registration as a sex offender

These penalties impact not only your freedom but also your personal and professional life for years to come. Our goal is to minimize the charges or have them dismissed entirely.
