Commonly Asked Questions

Table of Contents

Why do some internet crimes carry federal charges?

The United State Congress has declared war on certain crimes and has targeted crimes like possession of and receiving child pornography as well as identity theft as federal crimes. Both can carry mandatory minimum sentences if you are convicted.

If I accidentally download child pornography, is that a crime?

Possession of child pornography is a crime. However, in order to violate the law, you must have intended to possess it. Accidentally downloading it is not an illegal possession of contraband.

I have chatted online with a girl who won’t tell me her exact age. She wants to meet. What should I do?

Meeting people online is often a very risky proposition. If someone refuses to disclose to you whether they are a minor or not, you should be very reluctant to meet them. If you are over the age of 17, meeting an underage person for the purpose of sexual contact is a crime.
