Sexual Exploitation of a Minor
Kent, Washington Criminal Sexual Exploitation Lawyers
The sexual exploitation of a minor carries serious state and federal penalties. If the charges are related to child pornography, federal sentencing guidelines come into play, potentially resulting in lengthy prison sentences and the necessity to register as a sex offender for the rest of a convicted person's life. At the Law Offices of James Newton, PLLC, our criminal defense attorneys work with our own investigators and psychologists in defending people charged with the sexual exploitation of a minor. In cases involving the online solicitation of a minor or the distribution of child pornography, we use forensic computer experts to build a defense for our client if pop-ups, misleadingly labeled zip files, or a police sting is involved. In cases involving sex tourism or statutory rape, we consult psychologists to evaluate our client and explain why personal history, prescription drugs, or emotional trauma may have played a role in their behavior.

Working with investigators when it makes sense
Federal investigations are usually very thorough, taking months if not years to complete. Federal investigators typically use informants, surveillance, wiretaps, and other means to gather evidence. In cases involving the sexual exploitation of a minor, federal law enforcement may track a suspect's Internet activity, email, and financial transactions. As a result, when federal prosecutors decided to indict a suspect, the evidence is usually overwhelming.
In these kinds of cases, our attorneys work with prosecutors if a plea bargain is available. If a person has a history of being abused or is addicted to drugs and alcohol, the court may reduce the sentence against you. While we cannot guarantee a specific outcome, we have the resources and experience needed to position your defense in the best possible light, given the options available to you.
