Internet Sex Crimes

California Lawyer for Internet Sex Charges

The growth of the Internet and specific online technologies such as chat rooms and social networking sites have led to increased public concern about the potential for sex crimes. Prosecutors have responded by bringing a significant number of charges against alleged offenders.

I'm Jim Pokorny, a San Diego attorney who has been practicing criminal defense for more than 30 years. I have extensive experience defending clients facing Internet sex crime charges at the state or federal level. Contact me for a free phone consultation about your charges.

Fighting Online Child Sex Offense Accusations

The seemingly anonymous atmosphere and widespread use of false identities by people on the Internet have created many situations where people end up being charged with crimes without ever intending to break the law. Common charges in this area include child pornography, solicitation of a minor and attempted child molestation.

Attempted child molestation charges can be brought even if there is no actual child involved, such as when an undercover police officer poses as a child and sets up an in-person meeting with an adult.

Concepts such as entrapment are legally complex, but I will do everything in my power to hold the police and prosecutors accountable. At every stage of your case, I will vigorously defend your rights.

Defending Clients Accused of Prostitution

Another common type of Internet sex crime allegations is those involving allegations of prostitution. Prosecutors have been particularly active at bringing charges of pimping and pandering online. Since the Internet is a relatively new medium of communication, the criminal law in this area is still in development and can be very complex.

If you've been accused of a child sex crime, a prostitution crime or any other Internet sex crime, you need an attorney who will give careful attention to every detail of your case Contact me to discuss what we can do about your Internet sex crime charges.

From My Clients

Mr. Pokorny's years of criminal law experience truly helped me in my darkest day. I was accused of a hideous crime, if convicted; it would have ruined my career and self being. Mr. Pokorny believed in my innocent, and was able to take my case with understanding and compassion. Mr. Pokorny's focus on details and methodological approach of my case brought me too my acquittal. This is when I realize you need to fight for the truth because life does not play fair. I am very grateful that Mr. Pokorny was there for me and my family as my lawyer and friend.
Thank you, Jim.

I had been drinking with my girlfriend and we got into an argument. The fight escalated and I pulled out my .45 Colt pistol to scare her. Somehow the gun went off and she was shot in the face. The San Bernardino County District Attorney was going to charge me with attempted murder and have me sent to state prison. Not only was Mr. Pokorny able to get the charges reduced, but he got the judge to grant me probation. I will never forget the legal magic he worked for me during that point in my life. If you are in a serious situation, I highly recommend calling Mr. Pokorny immediately before you make your situation worse.
