Sexual Exploitation Of A Child

Sexual exploitation of a child is the charge typically brought against someone accused of possessing or distributing child pornography. These are some of the toughest charges to defend, and many criminal defense attorneys shy away from truly contesting them—opting instead to simply negotiate for lesser penalties.

At McClintock Criminal Defense, we take a different approach. We don’t back down from these cases—we fight them head-on. We thoroughly investigate every detail, challenge weak or improperly obtained evidence, and aggressively protect your rights when other lawyers might only look to minimize the fallout.

If you’re facing these serious accusations, you deserve a defense team that will stand up and fight for you when others won’t.

Is It Really Child Pornography?

In these cases, the government must prove beyond doubt that the material truly qualifies as child pornography. The reality is, countless images circulating online are fake or manipulated—featuring adults who merely appear underage or altered through Photoshop. In these instances, no actual child was exploited. Yet all too often, prosecutors rely on assumptions and lack the expertise needed to establish that the images depict real minors.

Did You Even Know It Was There?

Beyond proving what the material is, the government must also demonstrate that you knowingly possessed these images. Many times, prosecutors fail to properly establish this critical link—leaving their case vulnerable to being dismantled.

We Leave No Stone Unturned

At McClintock Criminal Defense, we carefully examine every aspect of how evidence was obtained.

• Did police secure a valid warrant before searching your devices?

• Was the information used to justify that warrant stale or insufficient?

• Were you pressured or tricked into consenting to a search you didn’t fully understand?

These details matter. We know exactly what questions to ask and precisely what flaws to look for. If the government wants to take away your freedom, we will force them to meet every legal burden—dotting every “I,” crossing every “T,” and clearing every hurdle required by law. Time and again, we’ve found that prosecutors simply can’t do it.
