Child Pornography Defense Attorney in Tampa, FL

Child pornography is defined as an image, whether on a website or in a magazine, photo, video, or computer file of a person under the age of 18 engaging in “sexual conduct.” Sexual conduct is defined as sexual intercourse, exposition of the genitals in a sexually suggestive way, masturbation, rape, or simulated sexual conduct. Beyond definitions, a child pornography charge can define the rest of your life. Even if you are found not guilty, the shame of being accused can make it difficult to secure employment. It’s possible that you may have to leave your community as well. Child pornography crimes are also among the most heavily pursued by state and federal prosecutors. That’s why if you are accused of possessing child pornography, it’s crucial that you contact a child pornography attorney in Tampa immediately.
