Child Pornography
A conviction for looking at or possessing underage sexually explicit photographs can carry serious felony sentences, including prison, predatory offender registration, lengthy treatment requirements, and internet usage restrictions. No actual intent to download or distribute these files is needed for a conviction – mere “reason to know” is sufficient. Individuals can be convicted of distributing child pornography for simply failing to disable the “sharing” function on peer-to-peer file sharing software.
Indecent Conduct
While most first-time indecent conduct cases are not felonies, that does not mean that they are not serious. A conviction for this offense will drastically affect a person’s employment, housing, schooling, and social standing in the community. It could also require sex offender treatment and predatory offender registration.
