If you have been charged with or are being investigated for manufacturing, possession or distribution of child pornography, you are fighting an uphill battle. Though the law states that a person is innocent until proven guilty, child pornography cases come with a stigma that is hard to shake. Without a skilled St. Louis child pornography defense attorney on your side, you will be facing a conviction and the life-altering consequences that come along with it.

If you believe that you are under investigation for child pornography, before you speak to law enforcement, call us immediately at 314-266-7821.
You Have Defenses Against Child Porn Charges
In today's technological age, child pornography can easily be distributed online using e-mail or file sharing programs such as LimeWire and Napster, with or without your knowledge. Often, when a person is charged with a child pornography-related crime, he or she does not even realize there is child pornography on his or her computer.
Child pornography is a federal crime and the consequences of a conviction could include prison time and lifetime registration on the Missouri sex offender registry. Despite the severity of these charges, there are defenses available to you. We will address important issues such as:
- Did someone else have access to the computer?
- Was the computer previously owned by another person?
- Was the child porn contained as part of a virus?
- Was the material downloaded accidentally?
Mr. Hammer will use his knowledge of the criminal justice system to develop a strong and strategic defense for you. Our goal is to get the charges against you reduced or dropped and to prevent your name from being placed on the sex offender registry.
