There Are Harsh Penalties for Conviction
Federal law enforcement officials often monitor the online activity of adults who are suspected of accessing illegal pornographic images. Hundreds of Florida residents each year are shocked to find their homes raided and themselves arrested following suspected crimes involving their computers.
The possession and distribution of illegal images, as well as allegations involving the luring, enticing or solicitation of a minor are very serious charges that can affect the rest of your life. A conviction may require you to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. This will follow you everywhere, even if you move to another state. It can have a negative impact on your chances of employment, and limit your opportunities in regard to housing and your relationship with your children.
A criminal conviction for the possession of child pornography can come with a mandatory prison term of up to 10 years. Charges involving the receipt and/or distribution of pornographic images of minors have a federal sentencing guideline of five to 20 years. Also, additional penalties may be assessed for each individual images that is in a person’s possession or that is distributed to others.
