Child Pornography Attorney in Long Island

Accused of Possessing or Caught with Child Pornography?

Being accused of possession of child pornography carries with it an immense amount of social stigma. If convicted of possession of these illegal materials, whether on your computer, phone, as hard copies, video, or any other electronic media, you can face time in prison, large fines, and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Being registered as a sex offender has many adverse and long-lasting consequences. Most jobs require a background check and hiding your offense from a potential employer will not be a possibility. Being a registered sex offender will also automatically make you ineligible to work with or around children. Another thing to consider is that your name, address, and photo will be published posted on the internet. If you are accused of possessing child pornography, you should hire a Long Island criminal defense attorney immediately to take action to seek to protect you from the damaging effects of these accusations.
