Child Pornography Defense Lawyer
According to both federal and state laws, it is illegal to produce, possess, distribute, or sell pornographic materials that exploit (or portray) a minor. A minor is someone who is under the age of 18. Child pornography laws are being implemented more and more to punish crimes that have occurred using the internet to obtain, share, and distribute pornographic material that involves minors or children. Pornographic material can refer to pictures or videos.
The following federal laws reference child pornography-
18 U.S.C. § 2251– Sexual Exploitation of Children (production of child pornography)
18 U.S.C. § 2251A– Selling and Buying of Children
18 U.S.C. § 2252– Certain activities relating to material involving the sexual exploitation of minors (Possession, distribution and receipt of child pornography)
18 U.S.C. § 2252A– Certain activities relating to material constituting or containing child pornography
18 U.S.C. § 2260– Production of sexually explicit depictions of a minor for importation into the United States
State laws vary.
