South Carolina Child Pornography Defense Attorneys
Internet child pornography charges are often federal court charges, and sentencing follows federal sentencing guidelines — which provide for serious enhancement depending on the types of images. For example, under federal enhancement, a video of child pornography is equivalent to 75 still photographic images. Due to sentencing guidelines in federal cases, experience in handling federal child pornography charges is critical.

Defending Against Charges of Online Child Pornography
While many computer child pornography charges are federal indictments, it is also possible to be charged with possession of child pornography under state law. Prosecution of child pornographers can be pursued through the Department of Justice, the FBI, the U.S. attorney general, state attorneys, local law enforcement and local prosecutors, as well as other state and federal agencies.
These agencies use a variety of methods to catch producers and consumers of child pornography. These methods include federally run websites meant to catch consumers of online child porn, technology that can recover deleted files and Internet caches from personal computers, and sting operations through online chat rooms.
Several issues can be raised to challenge each of these methods. At the Law Offices of Richard J. Breibart, LLC, our attorneys know how and when to address these issues:
- Did investigators entrap you or otherwise violate your constitutional rights?
- Was the evidence against you properly collected?
- Did you intentionally receive illegal images?
- Were you sitting at the computer when your account was being used for illegal activity?
- Who put all of the images on your hard drive?
