Understanding Child Pornography Laws In Indiana
Indiana Code § 35-42-4-4 clearly defines child exploitation as the production or distribution of material depicting sexual conduct by minors under 18. Additionally, possession charges involve knowingly having such images or videos, including digital files. The law also addresses “virtual” child pornography and, in certain circumstances, can apply even to viewing such material without downloading.
Potential Consequences Of A Child Pornography Conviction
A conviction carries severe penalties that can permanently alter your life:
- Possession charges typically constitute Level 6 felonies (6 months to 2.5 years imprisonment, up to $10,000 in fines)
- Exploitation offenses are Level 5 felonies (1-6 years imprisonment)
- Charges can escalate to Level 4 felonies (2-12 years imprisonment) with aggravating factors
Beyond incarceration, other serious consequences include mandatory sex offender registration, housing and employment restrictions and professional license revocation. You may also face potential federal charges with even harsher sentences.
