Columbus Child Pornography Defense Lawyer
Defending Sexual Offenses in State & Federal Courts
Child pornography is considered a federal and state offense, and is one of the most severely punished crimes in the United States. If you are facing child pornography charges, it is vitally important that you retain the services of a Columbus criminal defense attorney in your case. An attorney can provide you with tireless and aggressive legal representation in mounting a legal strategy to protect your rights. "Child pornography" is a general term, one that actually refers to a number of criminal acts, such as:
- Possessing child pornography
- Distributing child pornography
- Producing child pornography
- Use of child pornography in any manner
- Sex with a minor
- Sexual assault of a minor
These crimes are looked upon so harshly that the United States Federal Bureau of Investigations and the State of Ohio dedicates much of their time, energy, and resources to investigating child pornography cases. The penalties attendant to a conviction are very steep, and include monetary fines, mandatory registration as a sex offender, psychological treatment, and substantial prison time.

Should I be worried if I am innocent?The short answer to this question is yes. Our legal system, though endowed with powerful rights and time-tested procedures, is far from perfect. Proclaiming yourself innocent is far from a legal defense, and you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to gather information and refute evidence. It is a sad fact that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they did not commit. If you have been arrested, a team member from The Meranda Law Firm LTD, serving both Columbus and Newark, can go to immediate work on constructing a strong defense and on seeking to have unfounded charges dropped.
-
What important legal rights am I entitled to?If you find yourself crossways with the law, you have important rights that must be protected. First, you have the right to be informed of your rights by police should you be arrested. You have the right to remain silent, which can help you avoid self-incrimination. You also have the right to avoid subjection to an unreasonable search and seizure. Perhaps most importantly is your right to an attorney, and should you face criminal investigation or arrest, you should be in immediate contact with a Columbus criminal defense attorney for knowledgeable and skilled legal counsel.
-
Why should I hire a criminal defense attorney?When you are facing a criminal charge, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, your future stands at serious risk. Not only do you face the prospect of jail time, fines, and probation, but if you are convicted you will also carry with you a permanent criminal record that can make such things as obtaining employment, educational opportunities and housing problematic. A lawyer can make sure that your legal rights are well-protected and that a strong defense is mounted on your behalf. Going it alone in the criminal justice system can put you in peril of many unwanted consequences.
