Child Pornography

Boston Child Pornography Charge Defense Attorney

In the past, when people thought of child pornography, they may have pictured a man in a darkened basement snapping photos of young children in inappropriate poses. However, in today's technology-oriented world a majority of child pornography charges are related to the Internet and file sharing programs.

I was charged with a felony that I was completely innocent of, conviction would have resulted in up to 20 years in prison. Keith did a superb job on a "Motion to Dismiss." . . . Because of the arguments Keith presented, the court ruled that the felony charge was improper and it was dropped. Keith Halpern is an excellent attorney.

If you have discovered you are under investigation for a child pornography-related charge — or have been arrested for possession or distribution of child pornography — do not wait to speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The sooner you secure legal representation, the more options you may have for preserving your freedom.

I have spent more than 20 years protecting the rights and liberties of individuals facing various criminal charges, including crimes against children. I am an aggressive trial lawyer with a track record of success getting cases dismissed and winning not-guilty verdicts in criminal cases.

Criminal Investigations Surrounding Child Pornography

In recent years, law enforcement and the FBI have begun to aggressively pursue investigations against both the originators of child pornography and those who have visited child porn websites or downloaded pornographic images.

News organizations have also kept child pornography a hot-button issue for the public. Many people have seen news reports of chat room sting operations being carried out by reporters, and many of my clients have been caught in just that way.

In a chat room sting, cops or reporters posing as teenagers enter chat rooms and try to steer the conversation toward sex or even ask for nude pictures. When the target — my client — responds to the request, the cops bust him and search his computer for questionable images.

Fighting for Your Future

The government has nearly unlimited resources when prosecuting a child pornography case. They work to build a strong case against you, sometimes even pushing you toward behavior that could result in charges being brought against you — and serious consequences like jail time and lifetime registration on the sex offender registry.

You need an attorney who is experienced in Internet sex crimes defense. I have successfully defended clients facing charges associated with:

I will work with you to create a defense strategy aimed at limiting the impact of these charges on your life. Ideally, I hope to prevent formal charges from being filed, if contacted during the investigation process. However, if you have already been charged, I can still assist you in reaching the best possible outcome in your case.
