Federal Crimes Bring Serious Penalties
With the economy facing significant challenges and the recent history of corporate scandal, those accused of white collar crimes have become public enemy number one. The federal government aggressively investigates allegations of white collar criminal activity and will not hesitate to prosecute individuals on fraud or embezzlement charges.
Another burgeoning area of federal crime is possession of illegal Internet pornography. Given the consistent advances in technology and communication devices, this remains an evolving area of the law. Unfortunately, people of all ages can inadvertently commit criminal acts and face serious charges:
- Teenagers collecting and sending naked pictures of each other, known as "sexting," can be charged with possession and distribution of child pornography—felony offenses that carry significant jail time
- An adult legally viewing pornography may receive unsolicited pop-ups or add-alongs of child pornography that they never intended to receive
- Pranksters, or enemies, sending pornographic sexual images of minors to e-mail accounts, can set up unsuspecting individuals
Sex crime charges must be taken very seriously because they carry consequences that can last a lifetime. Those convicted of sex crimes face a substantial period of incarceration and must also register as sex offenders. Registration as a sex offender can effectively brand a person for the rest of their life.
