Staten Island Sex Crime Lawyer Speaks About Internet Sex Crimes

The internet is becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life, therefore it is easy to disregard the fact that it is still relatively new technology. The laws identifying internet crimes are also very new. Some individuals may commit a crime on the internet without knowing it, until it is already done. The Office of the Staten Island District Attorney continually looks for sexual predators. For this reason, you must be aware of some of the kinds of Internet Crime.

Instances of Internet Sex Crime:

• Enticement or solicitation of a minor
• Graphics or illustrations portraying sexual acts
• Possession or downloading child pornography on the hard drive of a computer
• Distribution of pornography involving children over the Internet
• File sharing child pornography
• Indecency in chat rooms
• Sexual exploitation across state lines

The most serious crimes on the Internet are those involving minors. Uploading or downloading pornography of children, arranging sexual contacts with underage people via the Internet, or providing to children “obscene” material by way of email are all types of Internet Sex Crimes.

Enforcement Agencies in New York State are very focused on the investigation of Internet Sex Crimes. They work and share information with various other agencies in an effort to explore and even ensnare computer users who are engaged in activity that raises questions. There is no criminal charge that can so effectively ruin one’s life as Internet Sex Charges like child rape, solicitation of a minor, or child porn. Most do not realize that these charges are Federal crimes, not just criminal acts inside the State of New York. Many crimes violate both state and federal criminal laws, ultimately bringing charges in two separate courts. Many times, Federal Law Enforcement Agencies work in connection with the local agencies in sting operations.
