Prosecution of Richmond Child Pornography Offenses
These offenses carry very heavy penalties, and the prosecution, whether state or federal, is very keen to convict Richmond individuals charged with a crime related to Richmond Virginia child pornography (i.e., the visual depiction of sexual conduct by minors, especially prepubescent children). The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), for example, devotes a great deal of their time, budget and manpower to child pornography investigations.
Another federal entity, the U.S. Department of Justice, coordinates efforts among 93 offices of the U.S. Attorney and many investigative agencies to track down and prosecute child pornography offenders. They have very extensive resources, and an individual caught in the federal criminal justice system definitely needs his or her own skilled, knowledgeable Richmond VA legal counsel and defense.
Punishment of Richmond Child Pornography Offenses
The punishment for a child pornography conviction may include incarceration for years plus mandatory psychological treatment, heavy fines, and mandatory, lifetime enrollment in a sex offender registry. The state laws regarding distributing child pornography (for example, via the Internet) vary widely in terms of penalties, and the federal (national) child pornography statutes have also changed over the years, becoming more severe.

It takes an aggressive, committed Richmond Virginia law firm such as Wise Laws whom has affiliated Richmond VA child porn lawyers across the nation to provide the most effective child pornography defense for an individual accused of this type of Richmond sex crime.
