There is the potential that you could face both state and federal child pornography charges; and the person that received the text could be charged with possession of child pornography. Both are felonies punishable by up to 15 years in prison as an adult or 6 years as a juvenile. Additionally, there is the likelihood of having to register as a sexual offender.

If you would like to discuss the circumstances of your case please call my office at 305.670.3119.
