The Law Office of Brian C. Andritch Child Pornography

Fresno Child Pornography Lawyer

Experienced Defense Against Child Pornography Charges in California

California considers sex crimes against children to be especially serious, which is why charges involving child pornography are subject to severe penalties. Laws against child pornography prohibit the production, possession, transport, distribution, and sale of pornographic material that involve or depict minors under the age of 18. It must be demonstrated that you knowingly participated in some aspect of the creation and distribution of, or were knowingly in possession of, child pornography.

These charges can be costly, but they can have a wide-reaching impact throughout other areas of your life. Child pornography charges are considered felonies, and some charges can require you to register as a sex offender if convicted. These penalties can limit your employment opportunities, housing locations, and other aspects of your life. Your defense should begin with speaking to a qualified Fresno sex crimes lawyer. At The Law Office of Brian C. Andritch, we are prepared to start your case right away, day or night.

What is Child Pornography?

Child pornography is any form of media, including film, digital files, and print media, that depicts or involves a person under the age of 18 in sexually explicit situations, performing sex acts, or undressed for purposes of sexual gratification.

Knowingly hiring, employing, using, persuading, or coercing a minor to participate in the production of child pornography.
Knowingly advertising obscene child pornography for sale or distribution.
Knowingly possessing or controlling any child pornography that was produced using a person under 18.

The Impact Of Teen Sexting

Sexting is a popular form of sexual expression for teens, but it can get teens into legal trouble. When one or both participants are under the age of 18, sexting can be considered the production, distribution, and possession of child pornography. Teens may face charges related to child pornography for nothing more than a moment of hormone-fueled poor judgment.
