Detroit Child Pornography Possession and Distribution Laws

According to Michigan child sexually abusive material laws, accessing, possessing, or distributing any materials that include a child or appear to include a child can lead to criminal conviction. This means that anyone who has child porn in print, on a computer, hard drive, flash drive, phone, or in any other medium, or who sends child sexually abusive materials via text message, email, online transmission, or any other means, can face felony conviction and the resulting penalties. The only exemptions include certain commercial film or photo processors, computer technicians, and others who may inadvertently access or possess child pornography.

Sexual abusive materials are not solely limited to those involving nudity or including sex, and can include anything involving erotic fondling, passive sexual involvement, or prurient interest. Obviously, cases involving these kinds of serious allegations are never taken lightly by the courts, and anyone who has been accused of such a severe offense should take action to get in touch with a lawyer as soon as possible. Our sex crime defense lawyers are always available to begin working with clients in Detroit and statewide who are accused of possessing or distributing child sexually abusive materials.

Criminal Penalties for Detroit Child Porn Possession or Distribution

If convicted of possessing child sexually abusive materials, or knowingly seeking child sexually abusive materials, a person can be sentenced to up to 4 years behind bars and a fine of up to $10,000. Distributing or promoting these materials can lead to up to 7 years behind bars, and a $50,000 fine. Additional penalties, such as sex offender registration and a felony record, are also very likely.
