Burden of Proof - Challenging Child Pornography Charges Nationwide

In any federal case related to child pornography, the prosecution will need to prove that the defendant knowingly and intentionally possessed, received or distributed pornographic images of a child under the age of 18. This means that federal prosecutors need to go further than simply proving that the images were on the defendant's computer or on his or her property. The prosecution must also prove that the defendant was aware of the material on his or her property or knowingly downloaded/received this material. The forensic examination of the defendant's computer is therefore a crucial part of building a defense against child pornography charges. This is a highly technical matter that will involve an investigation into internet searches and all data on the computer, including any potential viruses or corrupted files that may have allowed pornographic images to be downloaded without the defendant's knowledge or consent.
