East Texas: Defending Against Child Pornography Charges
Eradicating child pornography is a priority program with the federal Department of Justice. A lot of people are being charged with possession of child pornography or solicitation of a minor, which are sometimes related crimes.
If you are under investigation by federal or state law enforcement and are being asked questions about your computer or your Internet usage — talk to a criminal defense lawyer before you talk to the police. If the investigators want to have a casual chat or "take a quick look at your computer" — make a polite refusal and talk to a criminal defense lawyer.
Criminal defense attorney Tonda L. Curry has successfully defended dozens of clients charged with possession of child pornography. These are usually cases where child pornography downloaded from the Internet is found on a person's computer.
The federal government has gotten very good at tracking Internet credit card purchases from businesses that are known to be fronts for child pornography businesses. Once the government knows what credit card was used, they can track down the owner of the card and begin to build a case against the credit card owner for possession of child pornography.
