Child Pornography Lawyer in Minneapolis, Minnesota
By Sullivan Rice
Facing charges related to possessing, distributing, receiving, or producing child pornography can be incredibly daunting. Not only do these charges carry the threat of lengthy prison sentences and being labeled as a predatory offender, but they also bring about a significant social stigma.
“These cases can be some of the most life-altering of any in the criminal justice system.”
Mounting a defense against child pornography charges is no easy task. It's an uphill battle, but not an insurmountable one. However, it's crucial to start fighting these charges early. This means taking action as soon as you become aware of any investigation involving you, a loved one, or a friend. Often, awareness of an investigation comes when law enforcement executes a search warrant at your residence, seizing computers, disks, flash drives, and other potentially incriminating equipment.
We offer complimentary initial consultations to all clients. To schedule an appointment, please contact us today at (651) 447-7650.
Typically, after seizing these items, the police will attempt to interview you regarding the allegations. However, they likely won't immediately charge you. Charging decisions come after a forensic examination of the seized equipment, a process that can take months or even years. Despite hoping otherwise, it's important to understand that even if no evidence of child pornography is found during the examination, you may still be charged based on past content discovered on your hard drive. This could occur even if you mistakenly downloaded material you believed to be adult pornography and promptly deleted it upon realizing its true nature. Unfortunately, such actions can still lead to charges, as evidenced by past cases involving our clients.
“Child porn cases can impact for more than simply your liberty. It can devastate your family, friendships, employment, housing and your future. There is no way to overemphasize the carnage they can have.”
