How You Can Be Charged

Child Pornography is defined as any kind of picture, video or any other form of material that shows a broadly defined sexual conduct by a person under the age of 18. The kind of material can be digital or hard copy and can be depicting actual sexual conduct or simulated conduct. The broad definition provides courts leeway to discern what is considered sexual or not. If you have been accused of child pornography there are many layers to the charges.

Depending on what was found, a child pornography charge can be a misdemeanor or felony charge. Regardless, if you are convicted then you will have to register for the sex offender list for the rest of your life. The number of fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 with prison time from 6 months to 6 years. California courts do not take these charges lightly.
