Oakland Pornography Crime Lawyer
Need an East Bay Sex Crime Attorney? Call Nabiel C. Ahmed.
In the State of California, pornography is a thriving business. While pornography itself is not a crime, individuals in the pornography production business can find themselves facing serious criminal charges even without realizing it. Pornography crimes in California range from possessing child pornography to retail display of pornographic materials to minors. Without aggressive legal representation from the start, you could find yourself facing serious penalties that could include registration as a sex offender.
At the Law Office of Nabiel C. Ahmed, our Oakland sex crime lawyer understands your desire to keep these accusations and charges private. As such, we work diligently and quickly to have these charges dismissed or reduced as quickly as possible, so you can avoid further damage to your reputation.
Types of Pornography Crimes in California
There are many different types of pornography crimes, including:
- Possession of Child Pornography
- Transmission of Pornography
- Selling Pornography to a Minor
- Distribution of Child Pornography
- Retail Display of Pornographic Material to Minors
- Exposing Minors to Pornography
- Transmission of pornography by electronic device
- Revenge Porn
Child Pornography Crimes
The law is very harsh on those who victimize children, and child pornography is not a victimless crime. Anyone who possesses child pornography, produces child pornography, or transmits child pornography will face serious charges.
If you transported, distributed, or advertised child pornography for commercial benefit, you could find yourself facing the following penalties and consequences:
- Up to 6 years in California State Prison
- Fines up to $100,000
- Possible federal convictions
- Up to 8 years in prison
- Felony conviction on your record
Defenses Against Pornography Charges
There are ways your sex crime lawyer can defend against these serious charges. If the minor in question misrepresented himself or herself, or if the subject was over the age of 18 at the time the pornography was produced, then your lawyer may be able to have the charges reduced or dismissed altogether. Also, if the images do not depict a sexual act or are not sexual in nature, then you cannot be convicted of child pornography.
Due to the severity of these crimes, it is important to begin building your defense as soon as you are arrested. Time is of the essence. Even a mere accusation of being involved in a pornography crime is often enough to ruin your reputation, your business, and your relationships.
