Internet Child Pornography

The FBI and local law enforcement aggressively target child pornography. Law enforcement expends significant time and resources creating sting operations to target internet child pornography crimes.

The internet makes transmission of pornographic photos simple and seemingly anonymous. And it makes it easier for people to inadvertently access child pornography. It’s important to understand that images of child pornography are not protected by the Constitution. The internet also makes it relatively simple for authorities to track down and prosecute suspected offenders.

Indianapolis-based criminal defense lawyers Jane Ruemmele and Charles Hayes represent clients accused of sex crimes and are well versed in law enforcement’s techniques, so they are able to best defend even the most complex child pornography cases.
