Charged with a Federal Sex Crime? Contact Spodek Law Group.

Are you facing federal child pornography charges? This is a serious offense that could result in severe legal penalties, including prison time, large fines, probation, and mandatory sex offender registration. At Spodek Law Group, we understand the impact a child pornography conviction can have on your life and your reputation. Our experienced federal criminal defense attorneys have a deep understanding of federal child pornography laws and will work tirelessly to protect your rights and your future.

The Problem of Child Pornography on a National Level

Child pornography is a heinous crime that victimizes vulnerable children. If any person is found possessing, producing, selling, or distributing any material depicting a child under 18 years of age in a sexual manner, they may be charged with child pornography under 18 U.S.C. § 2252. This is a problem on a national level, as it affects the entire country and not just individual states.

Proving Innocence in Federal Child Pornography Charges

Federal prosecutors and judges have no interest in presuming your innocence. Due to personal biases and opinions about the nature of child pornography charges, your federal criminal defense attorney will have to work hard to prove that you did not commit the federal sex crime you have been charged with. At Spodek Law Group, our attorneys will use their experience and knowledge of the law to fight for your rights and your freedom.

Understanding Federal Child Pornography Laws

As stated above, Title 18 of the United States Code, Section 2252 makes it a crime to willfully possess, create, distribute, or transport child pornography. This code section provides for severe criminal penalties.

The subsections U.S.C. 2252 define categories of conduct covered by the law. For example, it’s a crime to knowingly transport child pornography by using interstate commerce – by computer or mail – visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 2252, not only does the law define the sale or possession with intent to sell child pornography images, but it also makes it a crime to just possess child pornography. Transportation of minors is defined under Title 18 U.S. Code 2423.
