If you have been accused of committing an Internet crime, you may have difficulty understanding the charges against you. This is because the laws governing Internet/computer crimes are constantly evolving and rather technical in nature.

I'm Waldo A. Brown, a West Covina criminal defense attorney with more than 31 years of experience. I know how to protect your rights and prepare a strong defense against Internet crime charges. I will always take the time to answer your questions, explain the law and outline your legal options.

There are many ways in which the deck is stacked against you in Internet crime cases. Under certain circumstances, Internet providers will give law enforcement details of your online dealings. In addition, law enforcement may have also enticed you into an online trap by asking you to provide them with illegal material or to direct them to the location of illegal material.

What Are Internet Crimes?

• Internet solicitation of a minor, which can be charged regardless of whether or not the person solicited was actually a minor
• Child pornography sex offenses, including storing, copying or distributing images showing sexual conduct by a minor
• Internet fraud, such as money solicitation scams and other white collar crimes
• Online harassment or stalking, including threatening e-mails
• "Hacking" into another person's computer to access their data, often done for credit card or identity theft purposes

Because the Internet crosses state lines, Internet crime charges can be brought in either state or federal court. Federal sentencing guidelines can be much more severe. A conviction for this type of crime can result in fines of up to $10,000 and prison sentences of up to 3 years.

If you are facing Internet crime charges, it is imperative to retain the services of an experienced defense firm that will provide you with the strong advocacy you deserve.
