Child pornography cases are hard-fought on both sides. The prosecution feels a fervent calling to do what they consider urgent and important work. They impress upon judges the seriousness of the crimes charged. On the other side are the constitutional rights of the accused.
There are many complications to these cases, with technology the focus as much as the alleged criminal and alleged victim. Digital information and content move at the speed of light, literally around the globe.
There are jurisdictions where child pornography is not prosecuted as a crime. But when users in the United States possess or distribute it, it becomes the basis for vigorous prosecution by the authorities.
The hard drives of computers store information, even if the user tries to delete it. Authorities do cooperate across borders in some cases, and your equipment can be seized, if a warrant is issued. The penalties upon conviction are harsh, even if a small amount of illegal material is found.
Child Pornography Defense
Prosecutors always have the burden of proof, beyond a reasonable doubt. Proving who committed a crime can be complicated, when more than one person has access to a particular computer, even without permission. The Law Office of James W. Winslow also calls upon a wide network of experts who can question the evidence the prosecution presents.
