Accidental Viewing Of Child Pornography

Accidental Viewing Of Child Pornography

We all know that mobile devices, tablets and computers can display images and information that the user did not search for and did not intend to view. This can happen in a number of ways with regard to pornography.

The legal problem is that accidentally downloading or accidentally viewing pornography depicting minors can be prosecuted as a federal crime. A conviction can bring a prison sentence or lead to other life-altering consequences.

In many cases, unintentional viewing of illegal pornography occurs when a person visits a website he or she believes is a legal adult site. Federal agents can gain evidence about the visit or image or video download by confiscating hardware and obtaining information about IP addresses, records from mobile service providers or data from other sources.

If you have been charged or you are being investigated, it is essential to seek help from an attorney as soon as possible — an attorney who fully understands the laws and the technologies that bear on your case.

A Strategic, Nonjudgmental Approach To Delicate Cases

I am Steven J. Sherlag, a criminal defense lawyer in Portland, Oregon. I have more than 20 years of legal experience and substantial experience with difficult criminal trials. I have a long track record of successful protection of my clients’ legal rights in sex crimes cases. I can defend you in cases where:

  • You viewed or downloaded material accidentally on a laptop, desktop, mobile device or tablet
  • You are being investigated for child porn possession or distribution
  • You are being questioned by federal agents
  • Your computer or other property has been seized
  • Your case involves what appeared to be child pornography, but is in fact legal pornography depicting adults

Technological Factors | Technical Legal Defenses

Your computer downloads and stores images and data without you knowing it. As a lawyer who is well-versed in the use of high-tech devices and who has trained other lawyers on the use of technology, I understand the technologies that lie at the center of many child pornography cases.

With the help of a team of outside experts who can investigate allegations, analyze data and testify in court, I employ a complex methodology for determining the legality of pornography that was allegedly viewed by my clients. My team can utilize technical legal defenses that may be useful in your case.
