Possessing child pornography, also known as the sexual exploitation of minors, is a serious crime that carries significant ramifications in Arizona and across the country. A child pornography offense involves any material that depicts a sexual act involving minors, and catching those who possess, view, distribute, or engage in any way with this type of material has always been a prominent focus of law enforcement on local, state, and federal levels alike.<\/span><\/p>

Arizona prosecutors take a tough stance on child pornography charges, especially here in Phoenix, Arizona.

What is Considered Child Pornography?<\/span><\/h2>

Any visual portrayal of a minor participating in what the law refers to as \u201cexploitive exhibition\u201d or otherwise sexual behavior is considered to be child pornography. As mentioned before, this can include possessing, recording, receiving, selling, buying, duplicating, electronically transmitting, or exchanging any visual depiction of child pornography. Just because someone did not take the photo or video themselves or did not have any personal contact with the minor in question does not lessen the severity of the crime. For example, distributing child pornography has the same severe legal ramifications for a defendant similar to the individual who originally produced the material.<\/span><\/p>

Regardless of the format of the pornography, such as hard copy photographs or digital videos and images, the laws against sexual exploitation of a minor will still apply, and the penalties can be extremely severe if convicted.<\/span><\/p>

Due to the life-changing legal and societal consequences of a child pornography conviction, anyone facing charges must hire a defense attorney immediately. Child pornography charges will not go away on their own and can easily result in a lengthy prison sentence.<\/span><\/p>

If you or a loved one are facing Arizona child pornography charges, contact our law firm immediately so we can professionally evaluate your case. Our legal team can analyze the state’s evidence to determine what legal strategies will best suit your needs.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What are Arizona Porn Laws?<\/span><\/h2>

Although state child pornography laws were designed to protect children and minors, those under the age of 18 are not completely immune to these laws, either. We see this a lot with the rise of \u201csexting,\u201d where two consensual minors exchange nude images between each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In many cases, this is still considered child porn, and both the underage sender and the underage recipient of a pornographic image may face criminal charges under Arizona\u2019s sexting laws. If the selfie is shared online or by direct sharing among the minor\u2019s social circle, anybody who distributed or received the photo might also face juvenile criminal charges in Arizona.<\/span><\/p>

Sexual Exploitation of a Minor in Arizona<\/span><\/h3>

Arizona\u2019s child pornography laws can be found under ARS \u00a7 13-3553. According to the statute, a person commits sexual exploitation of a minor if they knowingly:<\/span><\/p>
