Las Vegas Child Abuse Attorney

Are you looking for a child pornography attorney in Las Vegas? Child pornography crimes are a series of crimes involving making, distributing, selling or possessing sexually explicit materials portraying children. It is a very serious crime on both the state and federal levels. In federal law, under which many child pornography prosecutions happen, child pornography and related crimes are punishable by five to 40 years in prison, depending on the crime and sometimes the age of the child. Some courts have found that the child depicted does not have to be truly a child -- or real -- in order to trigger a conviction.

Because so much child pornography is distributed over the Internet, thus crossing state lines, child pornography is often prosecuted under federal law. However, the penalties may be even harsher on the state level, and either type of conviction can include additional restrictions like a requirement to register as a sex offender, restrictions on where you may live and professional licensing trouble.
