With over 30 years of legal experience, I am familiar with how the law has evolved with regards to increasing technology. For instance, in Colorado, internet crimes involving child pornography is commonly referred to as the luring of a minor child.
Exploitation or Internet Solicitation of a Minor
Very often, cops set up sting operations where they impersonate young children in chat rooms to solicit people to speak with them, engage in cybersex, or agree to meet for an illicit purpose. The people who cooperate with these "children" are then arrested and charged using sophisticated tracking software that can trace their internet service provider, (ISP) or when they show up to an agreed location for the purpose of solicitation of a sexual encounter with a minor child.
What Should You Do If You Are Arrested For Internet Crimes?
If you have fallen victim to this scheme or you have been arrested for other types of internet crimes, before you speak with the police, you should speak with me. Remember, everything and anything you say can later be used against you. I am here to protect you and your reputation. Even something that seems innocent, like "sexting," the practice of sending text or instant messages of a sexual nature, can be a criminal offense.
It is important to note that just because you think you might have deleted something off your computer, the police forensic investigators can often uncover deleted material from hard drives. I will speak with you about the circumstances leading to your arrest, and I will evaluate the evidence that has been collected to see if it could be suppressed because it was collected improperly and if it is sufficient to support this type of charge.
My goal is always to minimize the impact these kinds of charges will have on your record and your life. I vigorously negotiate on your behalf with the prosecutor and the judge assigned to your case to have the internet crimes charges reduced or dismissed. I represent you at trial and, if you are convicted, I work to make sure your sentence is fair and reduced as much as possible. Once you have served your sentence and the proper amount of time has passed, if you were forced to register on a sex offender list, I can help you with the deregistration process.
