San Francisco Child Pornography Attorney:
US Code 2252 (18 USC 2252)

 

Federal Law: 18 US Code 2252

 

Federal Law 18 United States Code 2252 is a US law which involves the illegalization of child pornography. The law makes it unlawful for an individual to knowingly transport any visual depiction that involves a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Additionally, this code makes it illegal for an individual to knowingly receive, distribute, duplicate or sell a visual depiction containing any aforementioned conduct.

 

Penalties and Punishment for US Code 2252

Violating 18 USC 2252 has the potential for severe penalties. Sentencing varies depending on the magnitude and volume of the defendant's crime, his or her criminal history, and his or her willingness to cooperate with law enforcement officials.

 

Generally, an individual found guilty of transporting, receiving, duplicating, selling, distributing, or possessing a visual depiction that involves a minor engaging in sexually explicit material will be fined under this title and imprisoned not less than 5 years and not more than 20 years. However, if the defendant has prior convictions for similar or related crimes, he or she may face incarceration from 15 to 40 years. Additionally, convictions may result in the defendant's registration as a known sex offender.

 

Defenses to US Code 2252

 

When charged with crimes related to the sexual exploitation of children, the defendant's reputation, relationships, and professional career are threatened with devastation. However, with the help of an experienced sex crime defense attorney, charges may be reduced or eliminated.

 

There are a number of possible defenses for possessing or transporting a visual depiction involving a minor engaging in sexually explicit activities. A defendant may have had a mistaken understanding of the material's content, or the arresting officers may themselves have been guilty of entrapment or an illegal search and seizure. Additionally, there may be discrepancies in the accuser's case or the accuser's credibility.

 

We specialize in defending accusations related to child pornography. Summit Defense child pornography attorneys will not let you become a victim of California's witch hunt.
