Camden County Child Pornography Charges Attorney

Camden County Child Pornography Charges Attorney

Child Pornography Defense Lawyer in Camden County, NJ Defends Clients Facing Child Pornography Charges in Camden, Cherry Hill, Gloucester Township, and Throughout NJ

In New Jersey, child pornography laws are treated with very strict penalties. If you are convicted of child pornography charges in Camden County, you may be on the New Jersey Sex Offender List for life. Child pornography involves persons under the age of 18 and is not protected under the First Amendment. It is illegal to produce, transport, possess, distribute, sell, share, or look at child pornography that involves minors. It is certainly not a defense to claim that you may have believed that the person in the pornographic material was 18 years old or over. If you have been accused of involvement in child pornography, contact Camden County child pornography charges attorney Michele Finizio for a free and confidential discussion.

Penalties for Child Pornography  that an Experienced Camden County Child Pornography Defense Attorney Can Help You Fight 

Under New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 2C:24-4), it is illegal to possess, view, share, distribute, receive, create, or allow a child to engage in child pornography. A conviction for child pornography carries some of the most severe consequences under New Jersey law. The sentencing possibilities for a child pornography conviction in Camden County, New Jersey include:

  • Up to 20 years incarceration in state prison
  • Fines of tens of thousands of dollars
  • Lifetime sex offender registration requirements under Megan’s Law and its successors

As many child pornography offenses occur over the internet, many prosecutions for child pornography crimes also occur at the federal level. Possible sentences for federal conviction of child pornography crimes are equally as harsh as the penalties for a conviction under New Jersey law, and include;

  • Minimum of five years incarceration up to 40 years incarceration, depending on the specific circumstances of the offense
  • Potential sex offender registration requirements in the state where the offender resides

As with all criminal convictions, there are plenty of long-lasting consequences to a conviction for a child pornography offense, such as difficulties in obtaining future employment, education, access to credit or other financial services, or access to housing.

There are limited affirmative defenses under state and federal law to certain child pornography offenses, typically limited to proving that any persons engaging in actual or simulated sexual acts in a video or image were adults, that there were no children in a pornographic image or video, or that a person received an item of child pornography and promptly destroyed it and reported it to law enforcement. These defenses stem from the fact that most child pornography offenses require the state to prove that the persons depicted engaging in actual or simulated sexual acts were children and that the defendant knowingly engaged in the charged offense.
