The problem of child pornography has exploded since the popularity of the Internet has taken hold. In fact, child porn charges have become especially common in recent years, and numerous Ottawa residents are being accused of crimes that they had no idea they were committing.
Canada courts see child pornography charges as a very serious matter and they punish individuals convicted of such charges severely. In addition, those who are accused of child pornography will probably be judged harshly by the public, even before any kind of conviction occurs. It is not uncommon for people accused of possessing child pornography to have their marriages ruined, lose contact with their children, lose their jobs and face other consequences, even if they are never convicted of the crime.
At the law office of Nicholas St-Pierre, we aggressively protect the rights of our clients when defending against child pornography allegations. We also maintain our clients' privacy in any way we can, and provide our clients with a judgment-free and professional criminal defense. We will review all the facts and evidence gathered by the prosecution in your case, we will listen to your story of what transpired and we will compile a suitable criminal defense to meet the prosecution's charges head on.
In some cases, it might also be appropriate to try and reach a plea bargain with the prosecution, where you plead guilty to one or more charge in exchange for a reduction in punishment. This kind of strategy may be suitable if the prosecution has managed to build an exceptionally strong case against you. However, this is a decision that should only be made when you have all of the information about a plea bargain and are aware of the potential consequences.
Our law office offers potential new clients a free, no obligation legal consultation regarding any type of criminal allegation. If you have been accused of a crime -- no matter how serious the charges -- we are available to inform you of your legal rights and options.
