Computer Crimes

Massachusetts Computer Crime Defense Attorney

Whether caught with pornography in the form of photos or movies, the ramifications are serious. You could face jail time, and you may need to register as a sex offender. Even searching for pornography on your computer can have significant consequences.

If you have been charged with possession of child pornography or another internet sex crime, do not hesitate to get the representation you need. Contact Reardon & Reardon, in Worcester, Massachusetts, today.

Examining Your Case

Many people believe that downloading pornography on their personal computer is not a crime; or, they assume that they will never be caught. They may not understand how the police learned of their internet activity. Issues include whether searches are saved in your browsing history, or elsewhere on your computer or network, whether illegal materials are contained in emails or attachments, and whether images you may have viewed are of adults, minors or children. Even images which may appear to be of an adult, could, in certain circumstances, constitute child pornography. All of these issues need to be investigated if you are charged with one of these serious offenses.

At Reardon & Reardon, we carefully examine the case against you to determine why you were charged with the crime. If the evidence was gathered illegally — such as, the police searched your computer without a warrant — we will file a motion to suppress it. In some situations, our efforts lead to a dismissal of your case.

A Strong Defense To A Serious Allegation

Our firm believes that you are innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately, prosecutors often assume your guilt, even with less than adequate evidence. We provide you with a strong defense that punches holes in the prosecution's case. We ask questions like:

• Did someone other than yourself have access to the computer?
• Were the photos actually of a minor?
• Did you purposely view child pornography or did it pop up while searching for something else?

At Reardon & Reardon, we are committed to giving all our clients a solid defense and protecting their rights.
