Charges in ’sexting’ cases are sweeping across the nation and several states are trying to figure out exactly how to prosecute these criminals.

The problem is that men are found with pictures of naked or barely clothed underage girls on cell phones. Normally those men would be charged with ‘possession of child pornography’ as well as other serious felony charges. However, if convicted the defendants would not only have a felony record for the rest of their lives, they would also have to register as sex offenders.

Although it’s a serious problem, the difference in juvenile girls taking and sending out pictures of their own bodies to individuals cell phones and the other ways that child porn is normally obtained and distributed is vast.

California is not the only state struggling with a new crime that law books have not caught up with yet. New laws will likely be written to cover the dangerous and damaging ’sexting’.

Los Angeles Defense Attorney Robert Michael Helfend is ready to take on cases like these. No one believes it is right to lump together a 25 year old ‘man’ with pictures of a high school girl on his phone in the same category as rapist and pedophiles. It’s simply wrong.

However, if  those men are convicted and forced to register as sex offenders that is exactly what the public will think. Contact the law offices of Ventura County Defense Attorney Robert Helfend to see that he will put together a logical and aggressive defense plan that will keep your name off of the sex registry. He will fight for your charges to be dropped altogether or at the very least, fit the crime.
