Determined Defense Against Child Pornography Possession Charges
In 2016, the Minnesota legislature enacted a Minnesota Statute Section 617.246 to protect minors from the physical and psychological damage that comes from being used in the creation of pornography. As a part of this statute, the court reserves the right to penalize a person for the possession of pornographic work that depicts minors in sexual situations. If you have been accused of possessing child pornography, it’s imperative to speak with an experienced Minneapolis child pornography defense lawyer as soon as possible.
The sooner you have legal counsel in your corner, the sooner work begins on your case. Jennifer Speas has over two decades of experience to put to work in your case. As a sex crimes defense lawyer, she is able to investigate the source of the material and how it made its way into your possession.
Tough Representation
A person who is found to be in possession of pornographic material involving children could face $5,000 in fines and up to five years in prison for a first offense. A subsequent offense can result in a $10,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison.
Possession isn’t just having physical pictures or videos but digital photos and videos as well. Digital child pornography stored on a computer or any type of digital storage system that is believed to belong to you can result in a child pornography charge.
No matter the reason for the possession, it is important to have the proper representation in your corner. Jennifer Speas will investigate the reason behind the possession, where it came from, and work hard to help you secure the best outcome in your case.
Representation You Can Trust
Even if there is merit to the charges, you don’t have to take the penalty for the sake of moving on. There may be factors in your case that could result in the penalties being reduced. When you have a Minneapolis child pornography defense lawyer representing you, you know more of what to expect and you may even be surprised at the outcome that can be secured.
