Cleveland Pandering Sexually Oriented Material Involving a Minor Lawyer

What Prosecutors Must Prove

To convict you of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that:

• The material depicted a minor in a sexually explicit manner
• You knowingly possessed, created, distributed, or presented the material
• You acted with the required level of intent

Each element must be supported by admissible evidence. Digital files must be authenticated, and the state must establish your connection to them.

A Cleveland criminal lawyer will carefully analyze whether the prosecution can meet its burden under the specific facts of your case.
