Charged With Child Pornography in Camden County
There are few violations that engender as much stigma than child pornography. A conviction for this offense therefore has the potential for not only serious direct consequences in terms of penalties but also a long aftermath of hurdles that can be created. This is why it is so pivotal to put on your best defense to a Camden County child pornography charge. In terms of a possession charge, New Jersey law prohibits someone from knowingly possessing, viewing, or having under their control an item depicting the sexual exploitation of a child. Typically, this involves a photograph, video, computer file or other image involving a child engaging in or simulating a prohibited sexual act. A conviction under 2C:24-4b(5)(b) results in a fine of up to $15,000 and a state prison term that can reach five (5) years. Incarceration is mandatory when possession involves 100 or more items unless, after considering the character and condition of the defendant, the court believes that imprisonment would result in a serious injustice. In addition, a defendant must be sentenced to an extended term of imprisonment for a second or subsequent conviction.
