Although all sex crimes are serious and prosecuted with vigor, the offenses of possession or distribution of child pornography – also known as the sexual exploitation of  a minor – is in a world of its own when it comes to the prosecution of such cases.

The Serious Nature of Child Porn Cases

Utah has classified the possession, production, and distribution of child pornography as a second degree felony, which means that if convicted you can be sentenced to a prison term of 1-15 years.

In order to prove a case of child pornography the prosecutor much prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knowingly produced, possess, or distributed child porn or that the defendant intentionally distributed of viewed child pornography.  The words “knowingly” and “intentionally” establish a strong burden that the state must prove and provides many options for your defense.
