Child Pornography, Luring A Minor And Child Sexual Abuse
Child pornography charges may be pursued at the both state and federal levels. If you are suspected of a crime involving child pornography, you may be investigated by local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. Child pornography offenses typically involve the use of the Internet, which may mean you are facing state and federal charges. When the victim is under 15 years of age, it is a class 2 felony punishable under the Arizona dangerous crimes against children statute. It is possible to be charged for each pornographic image of a child in your possession (multiple counts).
In addition to child pornography, luring a minor for sexual exploitation or prostitution is a very serious matter. This often occurs online. If you were arrested on suspicion of online solicitation of a minor, I will examine law enforcement’s actions for potential violations of your constitutional rights. When police use officers who pose as young girls online, they may commit entrapment, which could be a viable defense. A minor for sexual exploitation offense can be charged as a class 3 felony punishable under the dangerous crimes against children statute if the minor is under age 15. It is mandatory prison.
