Orange County Crimes Concerning Child Pornography
Section 311 of the California Penal Code outlines the several crimes that you may face in a child pornography case. Many of these charges require you to possess knowledge that a person involved is under the age of 18. For example, in a charge of possession, someone must "knowingly possess or control information, data...which involves the use of a person under the age of 18 years."
Sexual conduct is described in detail in the Penal Code, and includes:
- Intercourse
- Lewd and lascivious acts
- Masturbation
- "Simulation" of sexual conduct
Knowingly committing an offense in Section 311 or knowing that persons involved were under the age of 18 can result in a charge relating to child pornography. This can result in a misdemeanor or a felony, and can also force you to register as a sex offender. You should stay informed on all of your options in a matter involving child pornography and protect your rights.
"I was arrested for possessing child pornography. Through the grace of God I was able to find Orange County child pornography attorney Michael L. Guisti. I told him I didn’t have any idea where these images on my computer came from and that I would never in a million years even think of looking at stuff like this, and so he brought in computer forensic experts who showed it was a virus and not me that put these images on my computer’s hard drive. Michael and his employees understood the sensitivity of this charge and they treated me with the most respect."
