Internet Sex Defense Lawyer

This is a new and rapidly expanding area of criminal law. Both state and federal authorities prosecute individuals and groups that possess or distribute child pornography, solicit sex for money or attempt to meet miners for sex on the Internet.

It is common for prostitution to be arranged on the Internet. Law enforcement often set up decoys to pose as prostitutes for “sting” operations. In other cases law enforcement will monitor ads and Internet chat rooms looking for rooms or sex for hire. The most serious cases involve paying for sex with a minor.

Production, use, possession and/or distribution of child pornography is illegal. The penalties are severe, and depend on the number and quality of images and the age of the minors. The level of involvement with a group or other individuals is also considered significant as is a person's previous record of crime.

Police aggressively hunt for pedophiles that use the Internet to find victims. The use of “chat rooms” and sites such as ‘MySpace” are often reviewed by law enforcement searching for violators- and many ‘sting” operations are set up to apprehend violators.

There are numerous technical and factual defenses to Internet sex crimes. They include entrapment, lack of intent, illegal police searches and/or conduct and lack of knowledge. We look at all defenses and have the computer expertise needed to expertly handle these cases.

Just as important, we are skilled at negotiating plea bargains in appropriate cases. An experienced attorney knows when to put the focus on reducing charges and sentences rather than enrage the court and prosecution by presenting a meritless defense.
