The Penalties of Child Pornography Charges

According to Florida law, child pornography is any image or file depicting a minor under the age of 18 engaged in a sexual act. Florida treats these charges as 2^nd or 3^rd degree felonies. The legal consequences of a child pornography charge include:

• Up to 5 years in prison and fines up to $5,000 for a 3^rd degree felony
• Up to 15 years in prison and fines up to $10,000 for a 2^nd degree felony
• Possible registration with the Florida Sex Offender Database

The social consequences of a child pornography charge can be just a serious as the legal consequences. If you are mandated to register with the Florida Sex Offender Database, the places you are allowed to live and work may be limited. Frequently, these locations are controlled by laws dictating your allowed proximity to schools, parks, places of worship, and other community features. You may lose your job because of location restrictions, or suffer damage to your reputation. Your family and friends may distance themselves from you, and you can find yourself socially isolated. It is important to seek experienced legal counsel immediately if you have been accused of a crime involving child pornography.
