Child Abuse and Child Pornography

Maryland Crimes Against Children

People convicted of internet sex crimes and sex crimes against children are some of the most despised criminals in American society. In fact, while the social stigma associated with just an arrest for such a crime can significantly hinder your life, a criminal conviction can altogether ruin it.

Child abuse and child pornography charges have the tendency to enflame the emotions of people throughout the community. As a result, many lawyers are uncomfortable representing clients facing child abuse and child molestation charges. However, our firm believes that no matter what criminal charges you are facing, you deserve the right to a fair trial and an attorney who will be a zealous advocate.

Child Pornography and Internet Crimes

With the growing number of chat rooms and online social networks, the number of people facing serious child internet crimes and pornography allegations has risen dramatically. The sentences associated with these crimes have become more severe each year. For example, even if you unexpectedly download child pornography, you may face criminal investigation and/or charges. Some of the other serious internet sex crimes our firm defends clients against, include:

• Internet Stalking
• Solicitation of a Minor Over the Internet
• Online Distribution, Production, or Possession of Child Pornography

Child Abuse and Molestation

The state of Maryland has many laws which protect the rights of abused children. Unfortunately, these laws are often taken advantage of when children become pawns in bitter family disputes or custody battles, as people may make false allegations of child abuse. When this happens, you need to act quickly because these allegations can jeopardize your freedom, your employment, your reputation, your immigration status and your family life.
