With the proliferation of the Internet, child pornography charges have become more and more common. The courts take these charges very seriously and seek to protect young people from the harm caused by sexual exploitation.
As a result, our clients facing child pornography charges face a particularly difficult time, even before their trial begins.
At the law office of Nicholas St-Pierre, we strive to protect you from becoming a victim of the court's zeal to protect society. We have handled a number of these cases before, and are referred by former clients to others facing these charges.
Don't Delay. Talk With Our Lawyers Today.
We offer free initial consultations for all criminal law cases. If you are facing a charge, it's important that you understand the process, the penalties you could face and all of your possible options. Let us provide you with answers. Call us at 613-233-3793, or reach us through our online form.
Our Lawyers Will Work To Protect Your Rights
When we receive a call from a client or his or her family, we know that it's particularly important to discuss:
- Bail: It can be very difficult to be released from custody before your trial. We will talk about how to get you out on bail with the appropriate conditions while you await trial.
- Search warrants: The police have a great deal of latitude in these cases. We will ensure that any search warrants are executed properly, and that you are not subject to unjustified searches. Evidence found through an improper search should not be used against you.
- Evidence: Information to be used against you may be found in a number of places. These include your home and workplace, as well as your computer, online accounts, cellphones and tablets. If necessary, we will bring in an expert to examine the evidence against you and to give us an opinion about whether the incriminating material can actually be connected to you.
- Consequences: Much like sexual assault charges, the consequences of being found guilty of child pornography are severe and may be lifelong. Your ability to work, use a computer, access the Internet, have access to public spaces where children might be, have contact with persons under the age of 18, live where you choose and travel — especially internationally — may disappear. It will be particularly important for us to discuss what this means in terms of your strategy for your defence.
