11648217_SS.jpgMiami - A former investigator for the Office of Financial Regulation and the Department of Children and Families Office of the Inspector General ordered and purchased two videos of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct from a Web site based in Europe.   After an investigation additional images and videos were found on his computer.

He has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for possessing child pornography.  His attorney declined comment and an Office of Financial Regulation spokesman also declined to comment.

In an attempt to protect children from exploitation, lawmakers and law enforcement officials have created a situation that can put innocent people at risk of conviction.  The consequences of a conviction on a possession of child pornography charge are severe and permanent.  You will be required to register as a sex offender where you will have to alert authorities each time that you move, and often difficulties obtaining employment arise.  Not to mention a lengthy jail sentence.

If you are being investigated or have been charged with a sexual assault or child pornography it is essential that you retain an experienced attorney to protect your rights.  You need an aggressive criminal defense attorney early in the process, ideally before the charges are brought. 

Contact Musca Law to discuss your case.  Attorneys at Musca Law know that the stakes are very high.  Your reputation and your family are on the line.  You can be assured that Musca Law will diligently work to keep you out of prison and minimize as much as possible the consequences of your child pornography charge.
