What Are the Consequences a Child Pornography Conviction?
In recent years, Congress has created longer sentences and stricter sentencing guidelines for child pornography crimes. You can face the following harsh punishments if you are charged for possessing or producing child pornography.
- A first-time offender convicted of producing child pornography faces fines and a statutory minimum of 15 to 30 years in prison.
- A first-time offender convicted of transporting child pornography through interstate or foreign commerce faces fines and a statutory minimum of 5 to 20 years in prison.
Convicted offenders can face harsher penalties if they have prior convictions or if the child pornography offense occurred in aggravated situations.
It is important to note that images of child pornography are not protected under the First Amendment. The definition of child pornography is, “any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor.” Visual depictions include:
- Electronically Stored Data
- Undeveloped Videotape
- Undeveloped Film
- Digital or Computer Generated Images
- Videos
- Photographs
