Other New Jersey Child Pornography-Related Crimes 

An individual who engages with materials that constitute child pornography also faces charges for Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Pursuant to N.J.S. 2C: 24-4(b) and N.J.S. 2C: 24-4(a), endangering the welfare of a child includes the possession of child pornography and downloading sexually-explicit images or videos depicting such images.

Some people download such materials using peer-to-peer file-sharing software. Although many may assume that by downloading the file, they are not sharing the file, this software makes the illicit files automatically available for other users to download. Sharing illegal materials through file-sharing networks is considered conduct that endangers the welfare of children. New Jersey and Federal Courts both look upon this behavior with similar severity as other child pornography charges. The person convicted of endangering the welfare of a child will certainly face prison time.

Retaining an Egg Harbor Child Pornography Charges Attorney Early Can Help Lead to Dismissal of Your Charges

Frequently Asked Questions about Child Pornography Law in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey

Can I be charged if I thought the individuals in the pornographic materials were adults?

Yes. There are laws in place that require documentation verifying that persons depicted in pornographic materials are 18 years or older, so it is usually not a defense if you believe that people depicted in pornographic materials in your possession were adults. However, you may have a legal defense if you received pornography and turned it over to law enforcement upon discovering that the individuals depicted in the materials were minors.

Will I go to jail if I am convicted of a child pornography offense?

Potentially yes. If you are charged with a fourth-degree or third-degree crime, it may be possible to obtain a sentence of probation. However, many child pornography offenses are charged as a second-degree or first-degree crime, which, in New Jersey, carries a presumption of imprisonment. If you are convicted of the distribution of child pornography or if you have prior child pornography convictions, you may also be subject to mandatory minimum sentences. In these daunting situations, it is important to retain an experienced Egg Harbor Child Pornography charges attorney.
