Aggressive Federal Internet Child Pornography Attorney
Washington, D.C., Child Porn Lawyer
If you face federal Internet pornography charges, it is likely because large numbers of sexually suggestive photos featuring children were found on your computer hard drive. Is there another explanation of why those photos were allegedly on your hard drive? Were they stored there by someone else who used your computer at some point in the past? As an experienced federal criminal defense attorney, I regularly work with experts such as computer forensic specialists who can help demonstrate that my clients were not to blame for images planted on their computers by others.
If you face a federal Internet sex crime charge, you are doing the right thing by seeking a defense lawyer with experience in this area. I am Charles L. Waechter, a criminal defense attorney with offices in Baltimore, Maryland, and also serving people in the Washington, D.C., area. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your rights, your options and your future in light of federal Internet pornography charges.
Consequences of a Federal Child Pornography Conviction
The number of images, the ages of the children depicted in those images and the type of images will influence the outcome of your federal case. You could face a federal prison sentence after being charged with a federal child pornography crime, even if you have no prior criminal record. The United States Supreme Court recently declared that the federal sentencing guidelines are no longer mandatory, but they still serve as advisory starting points for federal judges.
If I represent you in a Washington. D.C., federal Internet crime case, I will seek to negotiate a significant downward departure or variance from the federal guidelines. I will advise you on how you can cooperate, accept responsibility and greatly increase your chances of a less punitive outcome than years in federal prison.
It is important to assess your case and determine whether it can be successfully litigated, or whether cooperation and treatment are the best option. Remember: If we can prove that the search and seizure of your computer was improper, your federal criminal charges may be dismissed.
