Types of Internet Sex Crimes
Internet sex crimes can take many forms and are often pervasive, given the nature of technology. Children and minors are also common targets. As such, these crimes are aggressively investigated and prosecuted. According to Oklahoma Statutes § 21-1951–1958, found in The Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act, computers must not be used to violate Oklahoma laws. Internet sex crimes commonly include:
- Child pornography or exploitation
- Solicitation of children or child porn
- Using digital technology to further sexual trafficking
- Sexting with minors
If you are facing charges for these or other applicable offenses, invoke your right to remain silent and hire an Oklahoma City internet sex crimes attorney to handle all communications for you.
Penalties for Internet Sex Crimes in Oklahoma City
Internet sex crimes are felony offenses, and as such, are subject to serious penalties. If convicted, an offender could face extensive time in prison and be required to pay steep fines. Felony offenders are also likely to be required to register as sex offenders and follow all requirements for their circumstances. It is also important to be aware that penalties can be even more severe if a federal internet sex crime was also committed.
Common Defenses for Internet Sex Crimes
