Possession of Child Pornography
Possession of child pornography is a serious crime with jail time and other consequences. And if you are accused of distributing or creating child porn, prosecutors will seek to lock you up and throw away the key.
My name is Michael Spano. I am a criminal defense lawyer with 17 years of experience, including my prior career as a prosecutor. I have successfully defended clients in Syracuse and Central New York charged with Internet sex crimes, including federal crimes.
I know how law enforcement operates. I know how to poke holes in the prosecution's case. I will help you fight to avoid a conviction, sex offender registry and the other repercussions.
Knowledgeable Child Pornography Defense
Police officers and federal agents troll the Internet for sexual depictions of children. If they trace you as a visitor to that Web site, they can obtain a warrant to search your home, confiscate your computer, and subpoena your Internet service provider.
If police found illegal porn on your computer, I will do everything possible to prove that you did not knowingly download pornographic images of children or minors.
I explore all defenses and mitigating factors:
- An invalid search and seizure
- Other people who had access to your computer
- A few illegal images, rather than hundreds
- Deleting the images as soon as you realized it was child porn
- An otherwise clean record

If you were arrested or questioned about possession of child pornography, you have rights. You should not consent to a search without a warrant. You should not give any statements to police without talking to an attorney.
