Experienced Defense for all Child Pornography Charges
Washington State has recently increased the penalties associated with all child pornography charges to a Class B Felony with a minimum of 14 months in prison for the first offense. Law enforcement and prosecutors aggressively seek to convict people they suspect engage in child pornography.
At the Law Office of Erik P. Kaeding in Kent, our founding attorney puts more than 15 years of experience behind your criminal defense. We understand that not every person accused of child pornography is actually guilty of the crime they are accused of, and that everyone, regardless of guilt, deserves effective defense. Our job is to minimize penalties, seek reductions in or dismissal of charges that can make a difference in your life for decades to come, and to help the innocent clear their name.
Computer Crimes and Child Pornography Defense
The Internet makes the distributions and ownership of child pornography easy, but it also makes it possible to accidentally or unintentionally download illegal images and even easier to get caught.
Law enforcement officials are very good at being able to track illegal data and recover that data from a computer, even if you think you have erased it. From the moment you are involved in a child pornography case, even if you haven't yet been arrested, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side.
Our firm has a proven record of success and a respected reputation among prosecutors and peers for handling highly complex child pornography cases, including:
- Possession
- Distribution
- Creation
- Solicitation
A child pornography charge can have an immediate impact on your life. These cases are often tried in the court of public opinion long before they reach the courtroom, potentially causing irreparable harm to your reputation and your career. The effects could also trickle down to your family. A conviction can result in prison time, strict probation conditions and a lifetime of having to register as a sex offender. With so much on the line, you need experienced, dependable and respected legal representation on your side.
Do Not Wait to Protect Your Future
Whether you have been charged with a child pornography crime, or you have become a person of interest in an investigation, you need a lawyer on your side. Our office works closely with clients to build a strong defense and make sure you have the information and support you need.
