Oshawa Child Pornography Defence Lawyers
Child pornography charges are taken very seriously by the Crown. There are several different offences that fall under the category of child pornography offences. It is a crime to make, print, or publish child pornography. It is also a separate offence to distribute, to possess or to access child pornography. This includes sharing files through a file-sharing software or downloading files from a website.
Child pornography offences can carry severe penalties. A minimum sentence includes jail time as well as sex offender registration, which may last a lifetime. If you or someone you know has been charged with possession of child pornography, an experienced advocate can help protect your rights and your future.
