Over the last several years, our society has seen a sharp increase in law enforcement efforts directed towards internet sex crimes. Internet sex crimes are routinely the subject of significant media exposure. People who may otherwise be outstanding citizens can quickly get drawn into illicit chat room conversations. On-line solicitation offenses, as well as child pornography offenses are being prosecuted at a never seen before pace in our Virginia state and federal courts.

Frequently, the accused has spent hours on the internet, in the privacy of his home, engaging in chat room conversations which he feels will never become public knowledge. However, the person he was chatting with may actually be a police officer, lurking in the chat room and posing as an underage person, in an effort to engage in on-line sexually related conversations. These police officers are highly trained in the art of enticement, without crossing into the prohibitions of entrapment.

Individuals who are charged with or under investigation for internet sex crimes need the advice and representation of an attorney experienced in both state and federal criminal defense. A conviction for these offenses can not only lead to the loss of your career and significant confinement, but also require you to be registered as a sex offender under federal and state sex offender registration laws. We are well prepared to provide an aggressive defense to criminal charges related to the internet.
