Maryland Child Porn Possession Offense Lawyers Build a Strong Defense
Charges involving digital images and videos can devastate lives, leading to mandatory minimum sentences, sex offender registration requirements, and permanent damage to relationships. These cases often involve complex electronic evidence, requiring a deep understanding of both criminal law and digital forensics to mount an effective defense against federal and state prosecution.
Building a strategic defense against digital evidence requires experience challenging search warrants, understanding complex federal sentencing guidelines, and effectively analyzing electronic data. As seasoned Maryland child porn possession offense attorneys, we have this experience.
Digital evidence can be misleading. Files can appear on devices without a user's knowledge, metadata can be misinterpreted, and innocent actions can be misconstrued. An effective defense requires a thorough examination of how evidence was obtained, a detailed analysis of electronic devices, and strategic challenges of the prosecution’s evidence while protecting your constitutional rights throughout the investigation and trial process.
The Consequences of a Child Porn Possession Offense Conviction in Maryland
A first offense of possession can result in up to 10 years imprisonment and $25,000 in fines per count, with courts having the discretion to impose consecutive sentences for multiple counts. For those with prior convictions, penalties increase to up to 20 years imprisonment per count. Mandatory sex offender registration is required upon conviction, typically for life, with regular in-person registration requirements.
Beyond criminal penalties, collateral consequences include barriers to employment, housing restrictions, travel limitations, and permanent public registration requirements that can affect personal and professional relationships. Many jurisdictions also require ongoing polygraph testing and restrict where offenders can live or work in relation to schools, parks, and other locations where children gather.
