Laws against child pornography are very stringent in the federal system. Federal law prohibits the possession, sale, distribution, or production of pornographic images that contain children. Simple possession of child pornography on your computer, or in tangible form, can result in a lengthy amount of time in Federal Prison depending on the particular facts of the case. It is extremely important that you contact an experienced child pornography attorney the moment that you hear of an investigation.
Peer to peer networks have created a troubling area of child pornography law in the federal system. If the government can prove you distributed child pornography, the recommended prison sentence increases under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Most people that use peer to peer networks are unaware that accessing these networks allows other users to download files from their computer. If another member, or the government, is able to pull child pornography from your computer through a peer to peer network the elements of distribution could be met.
If you are accused of possession or distribution of child pornography you need a lawyer that specializes in child pornography cases. In order to fight these cases, you need a complete investigation done on your behalf including a forensic evaluation of your computer to ensure the government can prove knowing possession.
