Child Pornography Enhancement Charges

If you have been charged with child pornography in any capacity, it is possible that you may face further consequences from enhancement penalties based on the circumstances of the crime. You need a  Los Angeles federal defense attorney from Kaye, McLane, & Bednarski, LLP to review the unique details of your case and build you the strongest defense possible.

There are three primary enhancement charges you may face in connection with the possession, sharing, sale, distribution, and/or production of child pornography. The first enhancement penalty is prepubescent enhancement. This is when the minor depicted in the child pornography is prepubescent, at the stage of development just before puberty. The second penalty is for penetration enhancement. If penetration of the child by a sexual organ, body part, or object occurs in the pornography, this enhancement may apply. The third possible penalty is quantity enhancement. This is when there is a large amount of child pornography discovered during the course of the investigation.
