Computer Sex Crime

Racine Wisconsin Computer Sex Crimes Lawyer

Recently, federal, state, and local authorities have increased their surveillance and prosecution of internet-related sex crimes. Federal laws related to the possession or distribution of child pornography over the internet carry significant penalties and fines for those convicted of committing these crimes. Likewise, online chat room solicitations of minors carry serious penalties for those found guilty. At the law office of Robert Keller, I conduct my own investigation into the charges against my client while thoroughly reviewing actions taken by investigators to determine if my client's rights were violated. If you have been charged with a computer sex crime or are under investigation for committing one, it's essential that you consult an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you avoid further legal difficulties while preparing your defense.

If you would like to discuss your case during a confidential consultation, contact criminal defense lawyer Robert Keller today. I will evaluate your case and explain what can be done to challenge the charges and evidence against you.

Computer Sex Crimes -- Charges and Violations

The law office of criminal defense attorney Robert Keller represents clients charged in computer sex crime cases involving the following:

• Possession of child pornography
  
  
• Exhibition of child pornography
  
  
• Online solicitation of a minor
  
  
• Violation of obscenity laws

Investigators and Computer Sex Crimes

Law enforcement agents now enter certain chat rooms in order to see if they receive any sexual solicitations while posing as a minor. If someone knowingly solicits sex from someone claiming to be a minor or arranges for a face-to-face meeting, they are arrested by investigators. In the case of child pornography, officials may be aware of certain illegal images posted at a website, waiting to track the IP address of anyone who downloads the images.

Working with internet providers, law enforcement officials then obtain internet records on individuals suspected of committing computer sex crimes. By law, they can look at email accounts, track internet activity, and monitor other aspects of a person's life if relevant to their investigation. When enough evidence is collected, investigators usually obtain a search warrant, entering a person's home to seize their computer and other items pertinent to their investigation.

Fighting the Charges against You

Depending on the evidence against you and the nature of your case, a number of defenses are possible. Did you accidentally click on a link or open an email that you shouldn't have? Were your comments taken incorrectly? Did the search warrant or its execution violate your Constitutional rights?

As your defense lawyer, I consult computer forensic experts and investigators in order to scrutinize every aspect of the prosecution's case against my client. If you are facing computer sex crime charges, protect yourself first by contacting experienced criminal defense attorney Robert Keller today.
