Jacksonville Child Pornography Defense Attorneys
With the advances in computer and internet technologies, prosecutions for possession, receipt, sale, distribution and production of child pornography are on the rise.
Many times law enforcement discovers child pornography by using peer to peer programs on the web to search for any computer on-line that may contain images or videos of children in pornographic displays. These searches then lead to warrants issued to seize the computer thought to contain these images and/or videos. The result is someone associated with the computer is charged with a very serious offense. In state and federal courts minimum mandatory prison sentences of up to 15 years to life are often sought by prosecutors assigned to these cases. Courts have to impose such harsh sentences by law if the suspect is convicted of certain child pornography offenses.
Florida Defenses of Child Pornography
At Stone & Associates in Jacksonville, FL we have developed strategies to challenge the search warrants and defend our clients charged with these offenses. We have successfully defended cases by challenging the nature of the images as not being pornographic or not being of minors. We have challenged the charges of receipt, distribution and production in certain cases in order to keep our clients from receiving lengthy prison sentences.
We Challenge the Prosecution and the Technology
We understand the sensitive nature of these cases and understand that some people may have defenses such as, not being the user of the computer, viruses that could account for the images, pop-ups that seemingly contain unlawful images that were not intended by the user's search, being framed by an enemy with access to the computer and insufficient evidence or negligent investigations. We have computer experts available to conduct forensic analyses to determine if any of these defenses apply. We also understand that in some cases even if the person possessed such images or videos that mitigation based on psychological issues may apply.
