The challenges in defending these cases are several. First, if the client has made an incriminating statement or confession, it can be a significant hurdle, though this is a common issue across various types of cases. Another major challenge arises if the alleged pornography is found on the client’s computer. In such situations, it is difficult to argue that the material was not present. The strategy often involves filing pre-trial motions to prevent the government from using the computer as evidence.
In cases where the client is accused of producing child pornography and is captured filming themselves during the act, it becomes especially challenging to deny the involvement of the client, given the direct evidence. However, every case has a potential defense. Upon receiving a case, the attorney will work closely with the client to develop a defense strategy. If the client decides to proceed to trial, the chosen defense will be presented with the utmost vigor and aggression.
