Consequences of Charges
If you are convicted of a crime involving Internet child pornography in Baltimore County, you are likely to serve time in a state prison such as the Maryland Correctional Adjustment Center. Your name will be entered in the state's sex offender registry. Even after you leave prison, you will carry the stigma and other obstacles in readjusting to freedom outside the prison walls because of your permanent criminal record.
Prevention of Charges
The best defense in a state-level Internet child pornography case is to stop the charges before they occur. If you have reason to suspect that your computer contains child pornography images on the hard drive and may be under investigation by law enforcement, contact me, Charles L. Waechter as soon as possible; ideally, before charges are filed. Aggressive defense work may prevent you from being dragged through the criminal justice system due to a misunderstanding, mistake, or an illegal search and seizure warrant.
Proactive Defense
Even if you believe that you are likely to be found guilty, take action now to learn how you can significantly reduce the penalties and other negative consequences by cooperating and entering into treatment voluntarily. Many of my clients have obtained favorable results by such methods.
