San Diego Internet Crime Lawyer
There is no question that the internet has changed the world as we know it. It has also changed criminal law, causing the need for a variety of new laws prohibiting certain actions using the internet and computers. Government agencies have also created and assigned specific task forces to investigate internet and computer crimes, often called "cyber crimes." By monitoring specific activity and investigating or tracking particular sites or individuals, these agencies will work to gather evidence against suspected internet crime offenders and bring cases against them in criminal court.
Having an experienced criminal defense attorney at your side if you are facing internet crime charges will be essential to the protection of your constitutional rights, and your opportunity to avoid a conviction and serious criminal penalties. Because internet crimes encompass such a broad range of criminal offense, the penalties may vary widely. For example, committing or attempting to commit fraud through the use of the internet is a federal crime that may result in up to 30 years imprisonment, along with fines of up to $1,000,000, if the target is a federally insured financial institution. Luring a minor is another serious internet sex crime that may result in a state prison sentence of 2 to 4 years, along with mandatory lifetime sex offender registration.
