What are the Penalties for Child Pornography in California?
Child pornography is a severe crime in California, and those caught possessing, manufacturing, distributing, or creating it may face serious consequences. The state of California treats these crimes differently, and prosecutors will pursue the most serious charges against you based on the specifics of your case. Those charges may include possession of child pornography, a felony crime, or the production or distribution of child pornography, which are sex crimes.
Those convicted of child pornography crimes may face:
- Jail time
- Fines
- Sex offender registration
- Lifetime supervision
Child pornography crimes are taken very seriously by law enforcement, and those charged with these crimes are often presumed guilty in the court of public opinion. Unfortunately, this presumption of guilt may lead to a conviction, which can have lasting consequences. If you are facing charges of child pornography, you need an attorney who will fight for your rights and ensure your side of the story is heard.
