Both NJ State and Federal prosecutors aggressively prosecute child pornography charges. The proofs the prosecution will use to convict you typically starts with an internet connection you made, and with the record of what was downloaded to your computer. If you are investigated or arrested by the police, do not assist them by trying to explain what happened, or how it was a ‘mistake’. Exercise your right to REMAIN SILENT. When you are asked questions, say I WANT A LAWYER. If you are asked to sign a Miranda form, write I WANT A LAWYER on it before you sign it. Wait for your lawyer, and let them do the talking because what the lawyer says cannot be used against you.

Defending an Internet Sex Crime Charge
The penalties for these types of crimes can increase based on the number of images the prosecution believes are child pornography. If you are under investigation for child pornography, or for using the internet to commit a sex-related crime, the police will seize your computers, and use your internet download record to try to convict you. In some cases, a defense expert is critical to developing a successful defense that it was not you who downloaded the child porn. In other cases, an experienced criminal defense attorney can mitigate the impact of these life-altering criminal charges based on legal arguments. In a recent case, Howard Bailey represented a juvenile client who was involved in a group distribution of pornographic images, and convinced the police detective that although the client had been the recipient of the child porn, he had received it as part of a group e-mail message not as an intentional download of the image. The investigation was closed without charges being filed.
Devising an Aggressive Child Pornography Defense Strategy
An effective child pornography defense requires a comprehensive approach to the proofs the prosecutor will use to try to convict you. These types of cases often involve legal issues of whether the police properly developed the basis to search your computer, and technological issues of whether your computer was compromised or hacked by some other person who used your computer to commit this crime. Each case is different in what needs to be done to protect the client. If you are under investigation or have been arrested for child pornography, consult immediately with an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense specialist to determine what defense strategies need to be implemented to protect your freedom, your reputation and your rights.
