Child Pornography Indictment
2009 has turned out to be a very big year for child pornography indictments in South Carolina. The use of KAZAA and Limewire for sharing information on the internet has turned out to be a tremendous help to the government in catching what they believe to be people possessing child pornography. These file sharing services are being used by some to distribute child pornography, but there are also some people that are being taken advantage of through this service. By allowing an application to be installed on your computer, you are in fact allowing access to the computer through that service. It is possible for someone to download and store information on your computer without your knowledge. It is also possible for someone to use your computer as a remote server and disseminate information from your computer without your knowledge. A federal defense attorney is critical to any defense that could be presented prior to an indictment or during the trial process.
There are several defenses to some child pornography cases. Depending on who has access to your computer, if you are in a custody battle with a spouse, and how the files ended up on your computer all make for a basis to contest a child pornography indictment. It is important to remember that the amount of prison time that one may receive in a federal court will be based on the number of images and videos that the government can prove you either possessed or distributed. The worst case scenario would be to be charge with making child pornography. This provides for a particular enhancement under the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
