Chicago Child Pornography Defense Lawyer
Let Our Sex Crime Attorney Protect Your Rights
Sex crimes can lead to excessive fines, time in prison, and damage to your reputation when you register as a sex offender. Of all sex crimes, child pornography charges are associated with the most negative stigma. Upon hearing the words, it can result in immediate prejudice and animosity before the accused has the opportunity to defend themselves.
At the Law Office of Steven Fine, we know many such arrests could be the mistake of someone else’s wrongful act or could occur because the subject of the materials was assumed to be 18 years of age or older. Since the severity of such a charge carries such harsh connotations, it’s imperative that you seek highly experienced legal representation.
Understanding Child Pornography Charges
According to Illinois criminal code 720 ILCS 5/11-20.1, child pornography is defined as materials involving the visual image of children under the age of 18, who are engaging in sexual activity, the simulation of sexual activity, or any other kind of sexual behavior meant to arouse the viewer.
Due to the various media outlets available, child pornography charges may derive from a wide array of scenarios:
- Distribution or sale of child pornography in person, mail, or online
- Downloading photographs from a website, e-mail, or online
- Possession of hard copy photographs
- Possession of photographs which were saved to a computer hard drive
- Producing child pornography, such as photographs or videos
- Soliciting or sending sexual photographs with a minor
Child pornography is considered a Class 1 felony, including a possible prison sentence of four to 15 years; although, the sentence may increase depending on the circumstances.
