Winslow Township Child Pornography Charges Attorney

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

In New Jersey, if you are facing charges for child pornography, you are facing a potential felony conviction which involves severe penalties and repercussions. If you are convicted of a child pornography offense, you may be placed on the New Jersey Sex Offender List for the rest of your life. Child pornography involves persons under the age of 18 and is not protected speech under the First Amendment. You need an experienced Winslow Township child pornography defense lawyer on your side.

Child pornography laws are structured to prevent any type of potential exploitation of a child, so that the regulation covers various forms of sexual misconduct in addition to pornographic materials. In New Jersey, It is illegal to produce, transport, possess, distribute, sell, share, and look at child pornography that involves minors. Believing that the person in the pornographic material was age 18 or over is no defense, as you can still be charged with child pornography.

The consequences of a conviction for child pornography will impact the rest of your life. That is why it is important that you speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney, one who has handled and tried these types of cases before a jury with excellent results. Our legal team has the resources, skills, and legal knowledge to craft a strong case and secure the best possible result in your favor.
