Military Child Pornography

Military Child Pornography Defense Lawyers in Maryland

Military courts have taken a harsh approach to child pornography cases. Cases in which evidence was quite inclusive have nevertheless led to the end of careers and often to prison time. In 2012, changes were made to the UCMJ by executive order. These changes redefined the prosecutorial requirements for child pornography prosecutions in the military.

ARMY ∙ NAVY ∙ AIR FORCE ∙ MARINES

For one thing, military courts no longer require strict proof that the child depicted is a minor. The accused may now be convicted of possessing, receiving, viewing, distributing or producing child pornography if he or she was aware that the images were of minors, or what appeared to be minors, engaged in sexually explicit conduct.

Second, the maximum allowable punishment for child pornography offenses has been increased. Where the punishment had been 10 to 20 years, plus dishonorable discharge and loss of pay and allowances, the punishments now range from 10 to 30 years, plus dishonorable discharge plus loss of pay and allowances.

Internet sex crime cases tend to focus on technology: PCs, handhelds, tablets, external drives and devices, and game systems. The government will have its tech experts seeking to prove direct involvement. For our part, we counter with experts who are respected worldwide for the depth of their experience and the accuracy of their testimony.

    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!
