Houston Internet Crimes Lawyers
The advent of the digital era as well as new devices and means of communication have drastically changed the way crime works. To address these technological changes, the federal government has outlawed a variety of online activities. In many situations, these laws address pre-existing crimes that have simply adapted to using the internet.
However, these laws also extend the authority of the government to prosecute someone for illegal activities committed over the internet. If you have been charged with a federal internet-related crime, it can be important to talk to a Houston internet crimes attorney about your rights. Contact Johnson, Johnson & Baer, P.C., by calling 713-222-0400 today to discuss your case.
Types of Internet Crimes
Crimes involving the internet can actually consist of multiple charges. Each charge can bring about a different level of sentencing and attach various penalties. For instance, internet crimes involving illegal pornography may lead to sex offender registration. Some of the most common internet crimes include the following allegations:
- Possession of Child Pornography
- Identity Theft
- Misappropriation of Trade Secrets
- Distribution of Illegal Pornography
An individual charged with these crimes can face serious legal penalties if convicted. However, an experienced and determined legal representative may be able to help them put together a strong defense strategy to reduce or even dismiss these charges.
