Child Pornography

Human Trafficking

Sex trafficking is the exploitation of a person by means including coercion or deceit to engage in commercial sexual activity, prostitution, exotic dancing, or pornography. When the victim is a minor under the age of 18 years old, sex trafficking does not require force or coercion.

Commonly referred to as "pimping" these charges are serious felony charges which may carry mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years in prison (18 U.S.C. 2251). If you are charged with any felony criminal sexual conduct offense, and are convicted the law requires that you register as a criminal sexual and predatory offender. You can imagine how such a conviction would ruin your life. It is imperative that you hire a criminal sexual conduct lawyer the moment you believe you are under investigation.
