How to Fight Against Charges for Transmission of Information About a Minor

The first step to battle back against wrongful accusations is to understand the laws surrounding your case. U.S.C. § 2425 deals with the use of interstate facilities to transmit information about a minor. It states that it is illegal for an individual to use the mail or any means of commerce within the maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States to knowingly initiate the transfer of information about a minor with intent to entice, encourage, offer, or solicit a person to engage in sexual activity. Information transferred may include the minor’s name, address, telephone number, social security number, or email address. If you’ve been accused of transferring information about an individual under the age of 16 with intent to solicit sexual activity, you could face criminal charges.

Penalties for the Use of Interstate Facilities to Transmit Information About a Minor

Sex crimes involving individuals under the age of 16 are extremely serious and often result in harsh punishments. The law states that anyone found guilty of transmitting information about a minor could face a fine, imprisonment for up to five years, or both. On top of these penalties, defendants also face tarnished reputations that may make it difficult to move on with life long after the case has wrapped up. If you want to protect your future, it’s important to reach out to an attorney the minute you find out you’re under investigation. The sooner legal representation gets involved, the easier it is to achieve a favorable outcome. Your lawyer will serve as a mediator between you and the police and prosecutors, creating a barrier for your protection. He or she will also help you explore your legal options for every stage of your case, from investigation through post-conviction if necessary, to put you in charge of your life again.
