Los Angeles Internet Sex Crimes Attorney
Few criminal accusations are as devastating to a client as being arrested or investigated for a sexual offense. An arrest can occur without corroborating or forensic evidence or even where reasonable doubt of the claimant’s motives exists. The impact on the client may be life-changing as family, friends and co-workers assume the worst about a person.With the advent of internet pornography and chat rooms, law enforcement agencies have been aggressive in their undercover work and internet sting investigations as seen on Dateline and MSNBC. Federal and local police officers posing as underage children, engage the suspect in sexual chats online, exchanging lewd photos including child pornography, and ultimately setting a “date” to meet when the target is arrested for attempted child molestation and other sex-related crimes.
Internet Sex Crimes
When a suspect chats with someone he or she considers to be underage, in a sexually provocative manner, numerous state and federal criminal violations occur. The government may charge the suspect with attempting to lure or provoke a child to commit a sexual act or disseminating sexually-explicit material that may be harmful to children including Child Pornography. The Internet has become a means to investigate these crimes because of its ability to hide the identity of the perpetrator and the police, posing as a potential victim.The government will seek substantial jail or prison time in such cases, and require sex crime registration for life.
