Child Pornography Charges in Maryland
A "Serious Trial Lawyer" Fighting for Clients' Rights Since 1992
Over my 18 years as a criminal defense attorney in Maryland I have handled hundreds of cases involving child pornography charges. If you have been accused of possessing or distributing child porn, I will investigate your case, assess the state's case against you and provide an aggressive and knowledgeable defense on your behalf.
Child pornography charges are highly complex. I understand how various factors in each case will affect the strength of the prosecution's case against you. For instance:
- Were others looking at files on your computer remotely and unbeknownst to you? If you were unknowingly sharing files your charges as a "distributor" may not stick.
- What search terms did you use online? Highly specific search queries about "young kids having sex" may be problematic. Less specific searches may aid in your defense.
I work with computer experts to track download histories, query histories and other case facts to weaken prosecutors' cases. When undercover detectives, sting operators and task forces search the Web for alleged pedophiles I can counter their efforts with a strong and knowledgeable response.
I travel to the state attorney's office to review cases because, often, prosecutors can't even share alleged evidence of child pornography charges without being charged as distributors themselves. My goal? To prevent adults and even minors from conviction and from the requirement to register with the sex offender registry. My representation has resulted in numerous clients avoiding a lifetime sex offender registration requirement.
