Philadelphia Child Pornography Defense Attorney

State and federal law enforcement officers are routinely entering chat rooms and posing as either underage teens or purveyors of child pornography in order to crack down on Internet child pornography and crimes against children. Law enforcement officers may wait until a conversation turns sexual in nature or pretend to be interested in receiving or sending child pornography in a zip file. In many cases involving the possession or distribution of child pornography, agents have marked illegal images with a code that alerts them anytime these images are transmitted via the internet. Thus, once a zip file is received or sent through email, law enforcement officers can launch a full investigation by contacting the suspect's ISP, gathering information on his or her internet activity, and accessing his or her emails.

In any possession or distribution of child pornography case, a lawyer must fully comprehend how the rules of evidence and discovery operate in federal cases and what sorts of defenses are available. As an experienced criminal defense attorney, Randolph L. Goldman understands how to prepare and present criminal cases in federal court. He will always conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the charges and expose any improper law enforcement tactics, including illegal searches and seizures or entrapment.

Furthermore, he will challenge the prosecution's case by examining whether a client was actually on the computer at the time the alleged crime took place. Many times, innocent people are charged with the possession or distribution of child pornography because a third party (without their knowledge) used their computer to conduct illegal activities.

When Guilt is not in Question - Sentencing in Child Pornography Cases

The court may take a number of factors into account when sentencing a defendant found guilty of possession or distribution of child pornography. For instance, if a defendant suffers from depression, drug addiction, or has been the victim of sexual abuse, the court may be more lenient.
