"Pornography" is a loosely defined term in our society. Legally, it describes literature, images or material of a sexual or lascivious nature that is created with the intent to generate sexual feelings or to offend others. The interpretation of whether material is pornographic is highly subjective.
When pornographic material is distributed in an unsolicited manner, put on public display or distributed to minors, the criminal charge of Pornography may apply. If the material is intended solely to offend others, the related charge of Obscenity may apply.
Distribution or display of pornographic or obscene materials may be prosecuted as a relatively minor Misdemeanor. However, if such material is distributed over the Internet, federal charges of Internet Pornography can be made. If the materials involve images or descriptions of minors, serious Child Pornography charges can be filed.
When charged with a sex crime, the mere accusation of the crime can have a devastating effect on your life, including serious harm to your reputation, career and personal relationships. If convicted, you can face a lifetime registration as a sex offender and severe criminal penalties. A sex crime conviction can follow you for the rest of your life, and convictions can occur even when the only evidence is the victim's word.
