Internet Sex Crimes 

Defense of Internet Sex Crimes in Illinois and Indiana

Child Pornography • Solicitation of a Minor • Sexual Exploitation

The U.S. Department of Justice and state and local law enforcement agencies have put tremendous resources into investigating Internet sex crimes. They often share information and work together to investigate and even to entrap computer users.

Only drug trafficking and terrorism are investigated as zealously as Internet sex crimes. And no criminal charge can ruin your life more quickly than sex charges like child porn, child rape or solicitation of a minor.

Possession of Child Pornography and Solicitation
Charges Reduced

Our client was charged with soliciting a minor over the internet and possession of child pornography images. With the help of his Wigell & Associates defense team, the charges were reduced to a non-sexual misdemeanor offense. He was sentenced to conditional discharge. Sex offender registration was avoided.

Wigell & Associates defends against sexual assault and molestation charges in Illinois and Indiana state courts and in federal courts nationwide.
