Child Pornography

Pictures, videos or other images of children under the age of 18 (eighteen) engaged in any type of sexual conduct or actions of a sexual nature are considered to be child pornography. It is illegal to possess, produce, sell, promote or distribute child pornography of any kind. This serious offense is also considered to be a sex crime and may result in mandatory sex offender registration in many states. Additionally, an individual convicted of child pornography may face individual sentences for each item of pornographic material found in his or her possession. 

Child pornography is often committed using the internet as a means of gaining possession of or distributing the material, and law enforcement throughout the country are always on the lookout for offenders.
