The prosecution of child pornography cases has increased significantly throughout the United States with more than eighty cases being prosecuted in New York alone in 2019. That is double the number that was prosecuted two years before. Child pornography is a very serious offense that can lead to jail time, fines, and registration on the sexual offender's database.

The team at John Grasso believes the increase in the number of child pornography cases is due to how easily the videos and images are now available on the Internet. Technology has made it easy to find just about anything online. Technology companies have already flagged more than forty-five million photographs and videos of child pornography, including sexual abuse. The number is double what it was in 2018.

There were more than eighteen million tips recorded on the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's hotline last year. Technology has made it easy for people to gain access to child pornography using messaging applications and social media. Authorities are paying closer attention to child pornography with a zero-tolerance attitude. Being accused of this type of crime requires securing legal representation immediately to ensure your rights are met.

“It is now easier than ever to access child pornography with a quick search online,” said Blake Nolan, the Media Consultant for John Grasso. “It is a very serious offense to be accused of possessing or distributing child pornography. Any legal team will recommend that the first thing you do when accused is called a child pornography lawyer to assist you. The lawyer will be able to advise you on what to do and say, ensuring you don't put yourself in any more hot water than you’re already in. They know the courts, the different cases, and the prosecution. They have experience with jury selection and they work to provide you with the best representation in and out of the courtroom.”

John Grasso and his team remain a leading choice for child pornography lawyers in RI in 2020 and they are thrilled with their success as the demand for their services continues to rise.
