The local police and federal agencies in Ohio have an elaborate sting operation set up for child pornography. If you have been charged with child pornography in the Columbus area, I can help. My name is Michael S. Probst and I am a Columbus criminal defense lawyer. I know how important it is to mitigate your damages or prove that it was not you committing the crimes you are accused of.
Every person who is charged with a crime deserves a tenacious defense lawyer who will build a strong case for him or her. I am hard working and strive to succeed for you. If you need a Columbus sex crime lawyer who will fight to get a positive result for you, I encourage you to contact my law office in Columbus, Ohio.
Possession and distribution of child pornography are offenses that law enforcement officers in Ohio take very seriously. Their sting operations watch peer-to-peer chat sites, as well as other Internet communication hubs. The police will track your IP number and have the exact computer on their search warrant. The charges can be brought in either federal court or state court. In federal court, an individual faces a mandatory five-year prison sentence for distributing child pornography, which can increase, depending on the amount of child pornography found.
I will provide a thorough investigation of your case in an effort to mitigate your damages, suppress evidence as a result of an unconstitutional search or prove someone else had access to your computer. The last thing police and other criminal defense attorneys want to do is prosecute the wrong person, so they will listen. I will negotiate with the other side to obtain the most beneficial criminal defense for you.
At my Columbus law firm, I protect those accused of all sex crimes, including:
