Child Pornography Law in Utah

Child pornography is a unique crime in that it can be charged as both a state and federal offense. In Utah, the law defines child pornography as any visual or audio material depicting sexual conduct by anyone under 18 years of age. Those found guilty of such offenses can face severe penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

Some of the common charges related to child pornography include:

Possession of child pornography
Distribution of child pornography
Manufacturing or producing child pornography
Soliciting a minor for sexual purposes

It is important to note that, in Utah, even viewing an image or video of someone under 18 engaging in sexually explicit conduct can be considered possession of child pornography.

If you are facing any of these charges, you must seek legal assistance from an experienced St. George Child Pornography Attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you can get help and build your defense, the more likely it is that you will be able to successfully fight your charges and protect yourself from hefty consequences.

Defenses Against Child Pornography Accusations

Although child pornography is heavily stigmatized and unproven allegations could result in unfair judgment, there exist several potential defenses for such cases. In addition to general defense strategies like disputing eyewitness accounts or the legality of the search and seizure, specific defense options may be applicable in a child pornography case.

Some of the defenses that may be pursued include:

Lack of knowledge: The accused was unaware that the material was child pornography
Consent of the minor depicted in the materials
Age discrepancy defense: Proving that the person featured in the material is of legal age
Violation of constitutional rights: This includes cases where an individual’s right to privacy or their 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure has been violated.

My firm can analyze your case and determine which strategies may be most appropriate for defending you against these serious charges. I will use my extensive experience and knowledge of state and federal laws to build a solid defense on your behalf.
