Child Molestation
Crimes involving sexual contact with a minor are the focus of increasing public scrutiny. With the widespread use of the Internet by minors through chat rooms, there are more chances of children being exposed to sexual predators. The media has increased its coverage of cases involving child porn and child molesters. If you are facing charges of child molestation or possession of child pornography, call a San Jose child molestation lawyer from the Law Office of Daniel Jensen, P.C. at (408) 296-4100. We represent people throughout Silicon Valley, including Santa Clara County and Alameda County.
Attorney Daniel Jensen has successfully represented many people charged with child molestation, child sexual abuse, and Internet sex crimes, including crimes of:
- Child pornography: Attempting to stop the flow of kiddie porn, California’s child porn laws make it illegal to print, exchange, or possess pornography containing a minor engaged in sexual conduct.
- Internet crimes against a child: California makes it illegal for an adult to contact a child on the Internet to lure them away from their home or to engage in sexual activity.
- Cyber stalking: Charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor, cyber stalking is the unwanted harassment, threat, and intimidation of a person over the Internet.
- Internet sex crimes: The police have begun to set up stings on the Internet in an attempt to lure child predators into engaging in an illegal activity. Entrapment is rarely a good defense.
Convictions for child molestation carry serious penalties, including incarceration in state or federal prison, fines, probation, and sexual offender registry requirements. Our San Jose molestation attorneys will ensure a judge or jury hears your side of the story. We will seek an acquittal or a verdict of not guilty. Where that is not possible, we will argue for a reduced sentence and probation. We will review your past criminal record, prior convictions, and the seriousness of the allegations to develop the best legal strategy available in your case.
