Even once you have completed a prison sentence for a child pornography conviction, the consequences of a conviction can likely last for the rest of your life. In Pennsylvania, individuals convicted of child pornography offenses will usually be required to register as sex offenders under the state’s sex offender registration statute. Sex offender registration carries a serious social stigma that can make it difficult for you to secure housing, find a job, or apply for entry to educational programs. Registration can also impose restrictions on your personal life, such as where you may live, what kinds of jobs you may hold, or your ability to access social media or the internet. Registration requirements can be onerous, and failure to comply can lead to further criminal convictions.
Our attorneys have a deep knowledge of Pennsylvania’s child pornography and sex crimes laws, and we are prepared to fight to keep you from being punished harshly under these strict laws.
