Indiana Child Pornography Defense Attorneys

Sex Crime Attorneys Located in Lawrenceburg

Child pornography and child exploitation, as described in Indiana Code Title 35 Criminal Law & Procedure: Articles 42 and 49, involve the intentional possession, sale, distribution, presentation, or creation of sexually explicit images or video depicting a minor under the age of 18. This includes nudity, “obscene performances,” and depictions of sexual contact, prostitution, and trafficking.

This broad definition may lead to arrests and criminal investigations against individuals who unknowingly possessed videos of a minor when they appeared to be much older or those who maintained images for legitimate educational or scientific purposes. Since the laws are far-reaching, if you learn of an investigation against you, it is vital that you work with an experienced Indiana child pornography attorney as soon as possible.

Common Child Pornography Charges

Our Dearborn County child pornography attorneys focus their practice exclusively on handling sexual offenses and we have an in-depth understanding of how a criminal charge can change your life forever.

We offer our more than three decades of experience to protect your reputation after an arrest for any of the following:

• Possession of child pornography
• Distribution or dissemination of child pornography

It is important to note that under Indiana law an individual may be charged with child pornography for more than just images and videos. Drawings, film negatives or undeveloped film, digital pictures, and motion pictures may all lead to a criminal charge. Our lawyers understand that there are often many nuances involved in these complex cases and we will work diligently to fully investigate your case and aggressively stand up for your side of the story against the prosecution.

We Are Here to Defend You

Potential penalties for child pornography convictions depend on the nature of the crime and the age of the minor in question. They can range from a Level 1 felony to a Class A misdemeanor. In all cases, sentencing can include years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. More than that, even an accusation can lead to irreparable damage to your reputation.

The lawyers at Bleile & Dawson will not judge you or your circumstances. Instead, we will take the time to explore your legal options and find a defense strategy that best protects your rights. We will stand by your side to improve your chances of a favorable case outcome.
