Forensic Evidence in Child Pornography Cases

When our team takes on a child pornography or molestation case, we work with a variety of expert witnesses to build a strong defense. For example, if you were charged with viewing child pornography on the internet, we may consult with a forensic computer expert. He or she will work to identify how the illegal images got on your computer and when those pictures were downloaded or deleted.

We may work with an internet specialist to determine if anyone else had access to your computer. The internet specialist can often determine how many images were viewed or downloaded on the computer. This will help us develop a defense strategy since images can become part of the hard drive — even if they were never viewed.

Our legal team will take an aggressive stance against law enforcement. We will work with a forensic expert to conduct our own investigation to protect your best interests.

Taking an Aggressive Stance Against Your Charges

Child molestation also carries severe penalties if you are convicted, including imprisonment, fines, and registration as a sex offender. While we are not in the practice of bullying children into telling the truth, we do take an aggressive stance against law enforcement and prosecutors. Interrogation techniques used against you could have violated your rights. Children could have been coached or conditioned to give a certain response. If it comes down to forensic evidence, we will secure that and present that critical data to a jury through expert forensic testimony.

Police officers have been trained to interrogate defendants. They are skilled at questioning individuals and telling stories designed to elicit a confession. Protect your rights: Don't provide police with any information without your attorney present.
