However, both federal and state of Florida laws prohibit certain online sex-related activities and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.izlegal.com\/blog\/consequences-of-a-florida-sex-crime-conviction.cfm\">carry severe penalties<\/a>. If you are arrested and charged with an internet sex crime in Miami, don\u2019t assume it won\u2019t be a big deal because you didn\u2019t come in contact with an actual person. Call our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.izlegal.com\/blog\/defense-attorney-for-federal-and-state-sex-crimes-in-florida.cfm\">sex crimes defense attorney<\/a> to discuss your options right away.<\/p>\n<h2>Computer-Related Sex Crimes With Serious Consequences in Miami<\/h2>\n<p>The most serious internet sex charges in Florida involve interactions with children. While you may be within your rights to view certain kinds of pornography and to have sexual encounters with adults online, you cross a line when these activities involve minors. The most common computer-related sex crimes charges in Florida are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soliciting A\u00a0Minor To Commit A\u00a0Sexual Act\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emailing, direct messaging, texting, communicating through gaming platforms, messaging through Snapchat, or any other kind of digital interaction with a person under the age of 18 could lead to a solicitation charge. Solicitation may involve trying to arrange an in-person meeting or asking a minor to provide pornographic images of him or herself. It will not matter to police or prosecutors if you were unaware of the victim\u2019s age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Possession Of Child Pornography\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is illegal to view or download sexually explicit images of children on your computer or cell phone. Even if images are not saved to your device, if they were viewed from your computer or phone, they could still be found by a digital forensics expert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Distribution Of Child Pornography<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there is evidence that you shared pornographic images of children, you will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.izlegal.com\/blog\/avoiding-the-harshest-penalties-for-florida-sex-offenses.cfm\">face more serious charges<\/a>\u00a0than simple possession charges. Promoting or producing child pornography carries a state penalty of up to 30 years in prison. Federal consequences are even more severe.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming ignorance or denying that you were the one using the computer will only get you so far with police when you are charged with an internet sex crime. Before you say anything to investigators, you need to speak to an experienced Miami sex crimes attorney.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<h2>Defenses to Internet Sex Crimes Charges<\/h2>\n<p>Both federal and state agencies aggressively pursue online sex crimes involving minors. So aggressively, in fact, that they sometimes violate the rights of suspects. Our first job as your defense attorney will be to evaluate the methods used by law enforcement to gather evidence against you. A few of the things we will look at include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Were the searches of your home, computer, and cell phone conducted legally? Regardless of what you are suspected of, police must follow proper procedures for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.izlegal.com\/library\/evidence-the-prosecution-must-disclose-in-a-florida-sex-crime.cfm\">gathering evidence<\/a>, including obtaining a search warrant.<\/li>\n<li>Were you induced to commit a crime by law enforcement officers that you wouldn\u2019t have otherwise committed? Internet sting operations may cross the line into entrapment. Our team will investigate the methods used by police to catch you.<\/li>\n<li>Is there evidence that you intended to actually carry out illegal actions? Talking about doing something is not the same as actually doing it. Prosecutors will need evidence to prove intent if they are charging you based on what they assumed you were going to do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Crimes involving the internet, computers, cell phones, and other devices are highly technical. Using computer and technology experts, we may be able to counter the evidence presented by the prosecution.<\/p>\n<h2>Are You Need Of A Florida Sex Crimes Defense Attorney?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been accused of a sex crime in Florida you need to speak with an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.izlegal.com\/bio\/daniel-izquierdo.cfm\">experienced sex crime\u00a0defense lawyer<\/a>\u00a0as soon as possible.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.izlegal.com\/contact.cfm\">Contact me online<\/a>\u00a0or call my Miami office at\u00a0<a href=\"tel:305-707-7345\"><strong>305.707.7345<\/strong><\/a> today.
