Sexual Exploitation of Children Attorney

If a federal judge or jury determines that you are guilty of sexual exploitation of children, you could face a long prison sentence and registration as a federal sex offender.

What is Child Sexual Exploitation?

Sexual exploitation involves the exchange of sexual acts for money, food, shelter, protection, drugs or other forms of payment. The term “sexual acts” includes involving individuals under the age of 18 in creating pornography. An individual can be charged with sexual exploitation under federal law, even if the crime took place entirely outside of the United State’s borders. Sexual exploitation happens in many ways, and often begins within the context of trusting, consensual relationships or through online grooming; Technology is playing a large part in child sexual exploitation cases. Many individuals under the age of 18 are being coerced into posting explicit images of themselves online in exchange for some form of compensation. This is a form of child pornography, and it is illegal. If you’re facing child sexual exploitation charges, it’s crucial to reach out to a defense attorney as soon as possible. There is a lot on the line in cases involving minors, so it’s important to fight back early in your case to protect your reputation and clear your name.

Penalties for Sexual Exploitation

The punishments in place for sexual exploitation are very severe and could negatively impact the rest of your life. If you want to protect your future, you should enlist the services of a premier defense attorney. He or she will review the details of your case and look for ways to prove your innocence.

The penalty for sexual exploitation will be determined by several factors:

• The age of the individual involved in the sexual act.
• The type of sexual conduct the individual was engaged in.
• If the content has been distributed, the judge will look at the number of videos or images possessed or distributed, the age of the minors involved, and the type of sexual conduct shown.
• The previous record of the defendant.

Time in prison and registration as a sex offender are two common penalties for sexual exploitation in Michigan. Both have the potential to make it difficult to move on with life after your case is wrapped up, so the sooner you can start battling back, the better.
