Florida Internet Sex Crimes Defense Attorneys
Internet sex crimes are almost always felonies, which carry minimum prison sentences, and the stigma of registering as a sex offender for the rest of your life.
Downloading and viewing child pornography is a 3rd degree felony. Sharing the images will increase the charges to a 2nd degree felony. Producing or promoting child pornography may lead to a 1st degree felony, which carries a 5 to 13 year prison sentence.
If you or a loved one has been accused of an Internet sex crime, call the experienced criminal defense attorneys at Bauer, Crider, Pellegrino & Parry without delay. Our attorneys have 130 years of combined legal experience, including child pornography criminal defense.

Nothing Can Be Lost, on Your Computer
If you bring a computer into a shop for repair or upgrades, PC technicians are required by law to report child pornography. When the government is building a criminal case, it will hire forensic specialists to find information you thought was deleted from your hard drive.
What can be done to fight these charges?
When we build the defense, our attorneys look at a number of important issues critical to the government's case, including:
- How was the evidence collected?
- Who placed it on the computer?
- How many persons, including yourself, have access to the computer?
If federal investigators start questioning you, even informally, be polite, decline to answer, and call an experienced child pornography criminal defense lawyer at Bauer, Crider, Pellegrino & Parry.
We will move to dismiss or reduce charges, depending on the charges, and pursue a plea bargain.
The Stigma of Being a Convicted Sex Offender
If you are convicted on child pornography charges, you will need to register with the police department wherever you live. All your private information, including your picture and address, is placed on an online report that the community can access. This offense will follow you for life.
