Michigan Child Pornography Possession and Distribution Defense Attorney

Law enforcement including the state police and federal agents has redoubled their efforts to combat the distribution and possession of child pornography. Investigation and apprehension of individuals suspected of possessing or distributing child pornography has exploded due to the increased budgets dedicated to combat child abuse on the internet.

Because viewing, collecting and sharing internet pornography is so private, persons engaged in these types of activities are lulled into a false sense of invisibility. They mistakenly and tragically believe that they are safe from being found out. Then out of the blue somebody who has never had any involvement with the criminal justice system finds the local police, sheriff or federal agents on their doorstep. They will produce a valid search warrant affording them unfettered right to comb through your home or business for evidence that you have committed a crime.

From that moment on your life will change forever. Without an experienced attorney representing you throughout the process you will not be able to properly meet the challenges of a prosecution for this type of crime.

Hopefully you will head the advice of every criminal defense attorney and not make any statement AT ALL to the authorities conducting the search. No matter how much you are encouraged, threatened or enticed to spill your guts about your participation in a criminal act you must KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. The most indefensible part of an internet child pornography case occurs when a suspect tries to explain to the authorities why they did or did not commit a crime.

However, even if you do implicate yourself it is still essential to have an experienced attorney to challenge the accuracy of the government’s forensic examination. This is crucial because virtually all of the evidence brought by the prosecution to convict you will be highly technical in nature. Often their experts overstate the number of images or videos found on your hard drive. This can mean the difference between 5, 10 or 20 years in prison. The number of images or files on your computer and where they are located on the hard drive is fairly involved and requires an attorney who has experience in this area of law. At Leslie Posner Law, I know the best forensic computer experts and over the years have developed strong working relationships with them

Search And Seizure of Property

Also involved with child pornography possession, production or distribution is the issue of authorities searching the property of those thought to be involved in the alleged crime. If anything is suspected of being involved such as computers or electronic equipment, it can be confiscated permanently. You will need to protect your ownership rights, and you must contact a knowledgeable attorney that has experience in state and federal criminal defense as soon as you become aware that your property and possessions are allegedly a part of the criminal investigation

Sex Offender Registration As Well As Other Penalties

The penalties for crimes involving child pornography are severe and range from jail time to registration as a sex offender. The details of your situation can have a profound impact on the sentence if you are convicted. Downloading or possessing child pornography is treated differently than sharing or distributing child pornography.

By being proactive and fighting back quickly and effectively, we may be able to change the potential penalties you are facing.
