I have handled child pornography
possession, distribution, and delivery
cases all over the state uh as well as
federal and state cases. So, they vary
quite a bit between state and federal.
Uh the federal cases carry a lot of
minimum sentences, mandatory minimum
sentences, while the state cases rely
solely on sentencing guidelines for for
terms of imprisonment or otherwise. And
I’ve done a lot of them in both realms.
They vary quite a bit because of the way
that the law applies and the way the
guidelines apply. So you need to find an
attorney that really knows where to
where the separation is and how to
handle federal versus state cases
because if the images get over a certain
amount, the federal government will
almost always take over because it’s
more they have more resources to handle
the case. So, it all depends on who
charged you and how many pictures you
have, videos you have, and what your
behavior’s been like between the when
they find out and when they charge you.
