Arrested for Child Molesting, Solicitation or Pornography?
Many Indiana and federal prosecutors place a high priority on arresting people for alleged child molesting, solicitation and pornography. Child molesting is a very serious offense and can be charged as a Class A felony, depending on the age of the child. Law enforcement agencies are increasingly turning to the Internet to try to catch people stepping over the line and violating child solicitation and pornography laws.
At the Indianapolis-based law firm of Cruz and Bibbs P.C., Indiana child molestation defense lawyers Israel Nunez Cruz and Lynn Bibbs defend clients against state and federal charges. Unlike many attorneys, they do not shy away from representing clients charged with serious sex crimes.
Aggressively Defending Against Serious Child Sex Crime Charges
In recent years, there has been a great deal of concern in the general public about child sex crimes. As a result, prosecutors tend to aggressively pursue charges against people accused of committing offenses such as the following:
- Child molesting: A person who performs or submits to sexual intercourse or deviate sexual conduct with, fondles, or touches a child who is under the age of 14 commits child molesting. It can be a Class A, B, or C felony depending on the allegations.
- Child solicitation: When an online or in-person encounter with someone claiming to be under 14 gets out of hand or is misinterpreted, it can turn into a child solicitation charge. Child solicitation, normally a Class D felony, is a Class C felony when committed online.
- Child pornography: Increasingly, child pornography prosecutions are based on Internet sting operations and tip-offs from computer service providers. Creation, possession and distribution of child pornography are all serious felony offenses under Indiana law.
The attorneys at Cruz and Bibbs P.C. understand that many people are accused of these crimes as a result of misunderstandings and misrepresentation. They will stand up for your rights to a fair trial and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
