The difference between federal and state charges of child pornography crimes has to do with the number of images allegedly found in possession of a defendant. If you were charged with a child pornography crime at the state level, you have already succeeded in escaping a much worse fate, a federal case. Nonetheless, a state criminal conviction also carries with it many negative consequences. If at all possible, you will want to prevent having charges filed against you in the first place. If charges have already been filed, you owe it to yourself to do what it takes to fight the allegations by any means possible.
At the Law Offices of Charles L. Waechter, we represent people from throughout the state of Maryland, in areas such as Anne Arundel County, with the aim of protecting our clients' long-range well-being. A successful defense may reveal that law enforcement agents searched and seized someone's computer illegally. In this case, the evidence will be suppressed and the case will be thrown out.
If charges have already been filed and if the evidence is solid, your next best defense may be to go on the offense. To do this, you may voluntarily enter sex offender treatment long before you meet the state prosecutor. Many clients of the Law Offices of Charles L. Waechter have achieved favorable results by taking such steps, with results such as:
- Case dismissed
- Charges reduced
- Penalties reduced
