Child Pornography Crimes in Annapolis & Ocean City

Defending Clients Accused Of Possession Or Distribution Of Child Pornography

Many people who are arrested on child pornography charges are caught in a trap laid by state and federal task forces. The accusations often come from a cooperating witness who has been caught with child pornography on his or her computer. If you are under investigation for possession or emailing of child pornography, call Murphy & Price, LLP, at 410-862-0351 for a free initial consultation.

At Murphy & Price, LLP, our criminal defense lawyers share more than 20 years of experience prosecuting and defending people charged with Internet sex crimes involving child pornography. Most Internet child pornography is transferred through email. If law enforcement officers seize the computer of someone who has forwarded child pornography, they can figure out who the images have been forwarded to. They can then get a search warrant and seize the computer containing the forwarded images.

The admissibility of child pornography images as evidence in your case will depend on whether the investigators had a legal warrant to search for and seize the evidence. If the police had no probable cause for obtaining the search warrant, your lawyer may be able to get the pornographic images suppressed as evidence.

If you are under investigation for possession of child pornography, one of the most important things you can do is to talk to an attorney before you talk to the police. You should never confess to the crime until a lawyer has had the opportunity to review the evidence against you.

The federal government has made enforcement of child pornography laws a priority, as the crime is viewed as a fuel for child sex abuse. If investigators find child pornography on your computer, they will try to use it as evidence that you have a propensity to commit child sex abuse. However, this evidence is not admissible in certain jurisdictions.

Depending on the circumstances, mandatory prison sentences may apply to possession of child pornography. If the prosecutor has a strong case, one of the most important things an attorney can do is to explore what can be done through the plea-bargaining process to avoid a mandatory sentence.

We handle cases in federal courts throughout the United States including: San Diego, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Maryland, Colorado, and many others.

    Mr. Price represented me in a Domestic Violence case. After a little over a year, the case against me was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Price and his office were incredible in communicating and seeing my needs. With Warren Price by your side, you can walk into court with confidence knowing you have the best representation possible.

    Mr. Murphy and Mr. Price were the first attorneys I ever worked with. They took time to explain each aspect of my case and made themselves available whenever I needed them. They helped me through the most stressful year of my life and ultimately proved my innocence. I would highly recommend their firm. Not only are they great attorneys, but I would also consider them my friends.

  • "He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case."

    I hired Mr. Murphy in the last second of administrative discharge. He gathered the evidence in a very short period of time because he knows a lot of people except, relationships with other lawyers. He was very knowledgeable in both criminal and military law and most importantly he was so passionate, very organized, respectful, and kept me updated on my case. I believe he is a great attorney and he deserves more than 5 stars.

  • "This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught."

    If I had not hired Mr. Price for my case I am certain that I wouldn’t have had the same outcome. The way he understood my concerns and fought to get my voice heard by the prosecution was more than I could have ever asked for. This is not just a job for Mr. Price but a passion. His attentiveness and care cannot be taught in an institution. His character is not something you can buy with just any attorney. Thank you so much for accomplishing the impossible. Thank you for your heart and determination. Thank you for fighting for me and most importantly thank you for granting me peace. You’ll never know what a blessing this has been for me and my family. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
