Defense Lawyer Defending Clients Against Online Sex Crime Charges in Lombard and Downers Grove

With the proliferation of computers, smartphones, and Internet-capable tech devices, there has been an ongoing escalation in Internet-based sex crimes. Accordingly, Illinois authorities conduct an increasingly aggressive prosecution of online sex offenders. You will likely face life-altering penalties that threaten your freedom, your family, and your employment if you are convicted of online sex crimes of any kind, especially those involving children.

If you are charged with the serious crime of using the Internet for illegal sexual purposes, it is best to contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer. The Oak Brook internet sex crime defense attorneys at the law office of Kathryn L. Harry & Associates, P.C. have the skills and knowledge of Internet criminal laws to continue our successful defense of clients throughout the Chicago area facing a variety of Internet sex charges.

Consequences of Internet Sex Offenses in Illinois

Illinois law covers a wide range of Internet sex offenses, including:

• Dissemination of obscene and sexually exploitive material to a minor.
• Online child pornography possession and distribution.
• Online solicitation of a minor to engage in sex acts.
• Criminal sexual harassment.
• Webcam, chat room, and instant message lewd sexual offenses.
• Online solicitation of prostitution and facilitation of prostitution.

However you come to be charged with using the Internet for sex crimes, you are immediately cast as a predator at best, a pedophile at worst; the kind of criminal that judges and juries do not like, especially if it involves the intentional enticing of a minor. In Illinois, sex offenders are banned from using social network sites and new laws mean retroactive registration for some sex offenders. Child protection authorities and the public are making aggressive demands for the prosecution of internet abusers to the fullest extent, and law makers are imposing strict penalties for felony internet sex charges, which include:

• Up to a 30-year prison term.
• Up to $25,000 in fines.
• Sex offender registration.
• Restrictions on being in the presence of children, schools, or parks.
• Supervised probation.
