Child Pornography 

Chicago Defense Lawyers - Powerful Defense Against Criminal Child Pornography Charges

Possession • Distribution • Production • Human Trafficking • Interstate Sexual Exploitation

The Internet appears to be private, but in fact, it's very public. Law enforcement at the local, state and federal level are operating undercover to entrap people who unsuspectingly take their bait.

Perhaps you were only looking at images. Perhaps someone else used your computer. Even though you are in your own home, if you have tapped into child pornography (knowingly or unknowingly), you may find law enforcement at your front door.

Don't fall victim to the public hysteria about child pornography. If you are under investigation for or have been charged with a sex crime involving kiddie porn, get prompt and powerful defense. Contact the Chicago pornography defense lawyers at Wigell & Associates.

Juveniles Charged with Possession of Pornography

Certainly one of the most tragic results of our country's obsession with pornography is the senseless way that young people's lives can be ruined. An 18-year-old boyfriend whose 16-year-old girlfriend sent him a topless photo can be charged with possession of child pornography. A 17-year-old who wants to look at other 17-year olds can face criminal charges in adult court.

The defense team at Wigell & Associates provides determined defense services for juveniles charged with possession or production of child porn. Contact us for immediate help.
