Florida Child Pornography Definitions and Standards
Standards and definitions of child pornography in Florida are mandated by federal laws. These laws explicitly define child pornography as a visual depiction of an identifiable minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
A minor is any person who is under the age of 18.
These laws define a visual depiction in several formats:
- Photograph
- Film or video
- Computer generated image
These laws include raw data, such as hard drive or other disk space, containing a visual depiction. Violating any of these laws can result in Fort Myers or Naples child porn charges.
Child Porn Law in Naples
Child porn law in Naples, as in Fort Myers, is very specific to the kind of activities depicted in a visual image that qualify as child pornography. These depictions of “sexually explicit conduct” cover a variety of sexual situations involving minors:
- Sexual intercourse (includes genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal)
- Bestiality
- Masturbation
- Sadistic or masochistic abuse
- Lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person
Instances of Naples child porn charges will be examined by a federal legislative agency. The content will be analyzed and if it meets the legal criteria, deemed pornographic, and therefore, illegal.
Child Porn Law and Criminal Charges
Child pornography is a federal crime in which multiple levels of involvement can lead to criminal charges:
- Producing
- Manufacturing
- Distributing
- Possessing
Instances of violations of Naples child porn law will be tried in federal courts under U.S. legislative jurisdiction. Individuals and groups can be prosecuted for child porn crimes and their charges will vary based on their level of involvement.
Defendants will be sentenced according the specific types of child pornography charges (i.e., distributing, viewing, producing) and subject to federal sentencing guidelines. A federal defense attorney can help you examine the evidence of your case and propose the best legal strategy.
