When facing internet sex crime charges, it is essential to have an aggressive legal defense that will give you the best chance of proving your innocence.
There are two main types of Internet sex crimes:
- Child Pornography - Child pornography is covered under New York City Penal Code Article 263. This includes the possession, creation, distribution, sale or production or child pornography, any pornographic material involving minors under 17 years of age.
- Luring a Minor - Luring a minor is communicating with a minor in a lewd or sexual manner over the Internet, as well as attempting to arrange a meeting with the minor to engage in sexual activities.
Both child pornography and luring a minor are considered felonies in New York. In certain cases, for example, if the victim and the alleged perpetrator cross state lines while perpetrating the crime, Internet sex crimes can be classified as federal crimes, in which case they will be harshly punished under the federal sentencing guidelines.
