Internet Pornography in San Bernardino & Riverside

A sex crime is participation in a sexual activity that is illegal according to state or federal law.  Internet pornography is the illegal selling, distribution, or possession of graphic images online. Since the early 1990s, internet pornography has become increasingly common.  Federal and state law prohibits the distribution or selling of internet pornography to minors (people below the legal age of consent). 

Internet pornography that contains lewd images of minors or images of minors participating in sex acts is strictly prohibited in the United States.  Often times, a person that is charged with an internet pornography crime that involves a minor will be subject to enhanced criminal charges and punishments if convicted.   

Once a person is convicted of illegally selling, possessing, or distributing internet pornography, he/she faces a variety of harsh legal penalties.  These penalties can include:  imprisonment, monetary fines, probation, community service, court ordered rehabilitation, and mandatory registration as a sexual offender.  Once a person is listed on the public sex offender registry, he/she may have limited employment, housing, and schooling opportunities.

Aside from legal consequences, a person convicted of internet pornography faces the negative stereotype of being labeled a sex offender by family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
