What is Child Pornography?
Child pornography refers to the creation, distribution, possession, or viewing of sexually explicit materials involving minors under 18. This offense is taken very seriously under both state and federal laws, and those convicted can face severe consequences.
Child pornography can take various forms, including explicit pictures or videos of minors encountering sexual acts or even suggestive or sexually explicit images of minors. Possessing or distributing such materials is a criminal offense that can significantly affect your life.
What are the Penalties for Child Pornography in Tennessee?
Child pornography laws in Tennessee are stringent and impose harsh penalties on individuals convicted of these offenses. The exact penalties can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case, but they typically include the following:
- Possession: Being found in possession of explicit materials involving minors can lead to felony charges. The severity of the penalties depends on the number of images or videos and their content.
- Distribution: Distributing child pornography, whether through the internet, mail, or any other means, is a serious offense that can result in felony charges.
Convictions for child pornography often result in imprisonment, substantial fines, mandatory sex offender registration, probation, and the loss of certain civil rights. Additionally, these convictions can have a lasting impact on one's personal and professional life, including damage to reputation and difficulty finding employment or housing.
Defenses Against Child Pornography Charges
Some common defenses against child pornography charges include:
- Lack of Knowledge: If you were unaware of the presence of explicit materials on your computer or in your possession, you may have a valid defense.
- Illegal Search and Seizure: If law enforcement violated your Fourth Amendment rights by performing an illegal search or seizure, the evidence against you may be suppressed.
- Mistaken Identity: In some cases, individuals are wrongfully accused due to mistaken identity. We can work to establish your innocence in such situations.
- Consent: If the alleged minor willingly participated in the creation of explicit materials, this may be a viable defense.
- Chain of Custody Issues: We can examine the chain of custody of the evidence to ensure it was handled properly throughout the investigation.
- Entrapment: If you were coerced or forced by law enforcement to engage in illegal activities that you would not have otherwise undertaken, entrapment may be a viable defense.
