Child Pornography Charges in Phoenix

Phoenix Child Pornography Defense Lawyer

When one is charged with possession of child pornography, this is a very serious offense and if convicted of the crime, you may face a long prison or jail sentence.  This is a concerning situation for those who have been accused of the crime and had no idea that such material was on their computer; defending this crime becomes a matter of utmost importance.  Such criminal charges require a skilled Phoenix child pornography defense attorney to immediately launch the defense.  At the Knowles Law Firm, the legal team is well-skilled in the defense of the crime.  It may be necessary to get an independent investigation done by a computer expert in order to prove that the material was inserted on one's computer, as this does occur.  In other cases, it may be necessary to defend the client by proving that others had access to the computer and could have been guilty of the crime.  If convicted of possession of images that exploit children (child pornography) the penalty is usually 10 years in prison.  If you have more than one image, the sentence is another 10 years.  This is an extremely frightening and serious legal problem.

Child Pornography Charges in Phoenix

Any computer technician or other individual who works in the computer industry is asked to report when they discover material that they consider may be exploiting children, and when they report this, they become immune to prosecution for the crime themselves.  If an individual is accused of coercing a minor (under the age of 15) to participate in any such activities for the purpose of creating some kind of obscene material, it becomes a Class 2 felony.  If convicted of such a crime, you could expect to spend from 13 - 27 years in state prison.  This crime is considered so heinous that the law requires the most severe penalties.  Repeat offenders eventually may spend their lives in prison. 

Don't take chances with this serious criminal charge.  Get legal representation immediately after your arrest and before discussing the case with any investigators.  The same holds true if you have not yet been arrested but are being investigated for possession of child pornography or for exploitation of a minor.  If you are under investigation, it is likely that you will shortly be arrested.
