We’ll help you to break down the charges.
Colorado child pornography laws cover several different types of child exploitation. These are all sex crimes that are charged as a felony.
This crime covers the act of creating sexually exploitative material. You can be charged with this crime if you are involved in any portion of the production, including soliciting a child to participate.
It is a felony to sell sexually exploitative images of a minor. Selling also includes acts of bartering those materials, even if you don’t receive money in exchange for them.
You don’t have to sell images to be guilty of a crime. If you distribute these images in any way, that is also illegal. Both physical and electronic distribution are covered by this statute.
Even if you don’t create, sell, or disseminate sexually explicit images of children, simply possessing them is enough to be charged with a felony.
Experience, trust, and expertise.
