Imhoff & Associate child pornography defense attorneys protect and advance the legal rights of men and women who are suspected of, arrested for, accused of or have been convicted of any of a number of state or federal criminal laws related to child pornography, including:
These offenses carry very heavy penalties, and the prosecution, whether state or federal, is very keen to convict individuals charged with a crime related to child pornography (i.e., the visual depiction of sexual conduct by minors, especially prepubescent children). The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for example, devotes a great deal of their time, budget and manpower to child pornography investigations.
Another federal entity, the U.S. Department of Justice, coordinates efforts among 93 offices of the U.S. Attorney and many investigative agencies to track down and prosecute child pornography offenders. They have very extensive resources, and an individual caught in the federal criminal justice system definitely needs his or her own skilled, knowledgeable legal counsel and defense.
The punishment for a child pornography conviction may include incarceration for years — perhaps decades — plus mandatory psychological treatment, heavy fines, and mandatory, lifetime enrollment in a sex offender registry. The state laws regarding distributing child pornography (for example, via the Internet) vary widely in terms of penalties, and the federal (national) child pornography statutes have also changed over the years, becoming more severe.
Prosecutors are very eager to protect juvenile and child victims of child pornography, and they'll do everything they can to secure a conviction. It takes an aggressive, committed law firm such as Imhoff and Associates to provide the most effective child pornography defense for an individual accused of this type of sex crime.
