Your Rights In An Undercover Sting Operation
One of the major sources of internet sex crime charges takes place in a sting operation. The way a sting works is that a federal investigation makes contact with a subject and lures them to a face to face meeting. These stings are effective and a major component of the case against you.
The evidence from such a sting provides considerable evidence, as will the digital forensics that will inevitably be performed on your personal technology. However, being subject to a child exploitation investigation, being caught up in a sting, does not negate your rights, which include:
- The right to remain silent: You have every right to refuse speaking with investigators and police. They cannot compel you in any way to testify against yourself or provide them with information.
- The right to an attorney: The complexity of your rights and the strategies necessary to defend them are difficult to implement on your own. An attorney can be your voice and your advocate and fight in ways you cannot imagine.
As your sex crimes lawyer, Dorie Maryan has fought these charges again and again, doing what she must to help her clients defend their future.
Are Internet Sex Crimes Prosecuted At The Federal Level?
Most internet crimes are prosecuted as federal crimes simply because internet crimes are classified as interstate crimes. There are scenarios where the state can pursue an internet sex crime, but by and large, these are federal prosecutions. And because it is a federal prosecution, that will mean the penalties include federal sentencing.
What Evidence Is Commonly Used In Internet Sex Crime Cases?
The evidence that arises will typically come as part of digital forensics of your personal devices. This evidence can include:
- Transcripts of chat sessions with federal investigators
- Internet search and browser history
- Videos and other media found on devices
- Emails and other communications
- Billing statements and other financial records
The evidence is built to tell a story of your involvement with trafficking or exploiting children. However, that evidence has to withstand aggressive challenges from your legal team.
