Child Pornography

Seattle-Tacoma Lawyers: Child Pornography

The FBI, Homeland Security, and Washington State government agencies are working together in the aggressive prosecution of any cases involving child pornography. Federal agencies can force Internet service providers (ISPs) to turn over records of subscribers' online activities. Attorneys at our Seattle criminal law firm, the Law Offices of James Newton, PLLC, are prepared to provide a vigorous defense to clients charged with possession of sexually explicit pictures of minors, distribution of child pornography through the Internet, and other forms of sexual exploitation of minors. If you are under investigation for or have been charged with sale or possession of child pornography, you face a heavy prison sentence if convicted, and may have already lost your job or good name. Do not risk making a mistake that could permanently damage your case—contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately.

Our clients repeatedly tell us that our attorneys' practical and direct approach helped them get through criminal justice proceedings with dignity.

What defense is there against a child pornography charge?

Our lawyers will examine all records and procedures leading to the charges against you. Questions we will ask the prosecutor and judge to consider include:

  • Was the evidence collected through an illegal Internet sting, where a federal investigator posed as a minor in an Internet chat room?
  • Did the police or FBI conduct an illegal search and seizure of your personal computer?
  • If your hard drive had a record of downloading "kiddy porn," was it really yours?
  • Was the entire case against you based on a pop-up menu that filled your monitor screen with obscene or sexually explicit images you didn't ask for?
  • Did you attempt to destroy a pornographic image of a minor by deleting it as soon as it appeared?
  • If the pictures were found on a hard drive at your place of employment, did any other person have access to the computer?

Child porn penalties may add up to 20 years in jail

If you are suspected of or charged with use, production, or distribution of child pornography or some other form of child molestation, invest in the services of a criminal defense lawyer with the right experience to give yourself a chance at the best possible outcome.
