The pull to view anything and everything on the internet is understandable. Computers, tablets and smartphones bring the entire world to us. While there are many good things that you can do on these devices, there are some that must be avoided at all costs. One of these is viewing child pornography. While you might think that there isn’t anything wrong with it since it is readily available, just looking at child porn on the computer can lead to criminal charges.

It is often said that not knowing the law isn’t an excuse to break it. This concept applies here. Law enforcement officials are going to take a firm stance against child porn because they believe in protecting the children. If you are facing this charge, you should know that it is very serious.

When you are trying to determine what you will do for your defense, you need to think about several factors. One of these is that you might be required to register as a sex offender if you are convicted. This can have a negative impact on your ability to enjoy your life. You may not be able to live where you want because some sex offenders have restrictions about where they can reside. You may also have difficulty finding employment.

You must think about all options to resolve your case. If you think there is a good chance you will be convicted, you should focus on taking steps to minimize the penalties you will pay. This might be a challenge but it is very possible. We are here to work with you throughout your defense.
