Child Pornography
Child pornography, under Michigan law, is a visual depiction of a minor child engaging in sexual activities. Even visiting a website that hosts images of child pornography can lead to a charge of possession of kiddie porn which is also known as child sexually abusive material (CSAM).
If you are charged with possession of child pornography, the police may use your internet history against you. Also, the police will likely take and search your electronics like your computer or your phone. Kiddie porn charges in Michigan are often accompanied by an additional crime called using a computer to commit a crime.
If you took a photograph of a minor, even if you didn’t know that the person was a minor, you could be charged with production of child pornography. This is true, even if the person misled you into thinking that they were older.
If you were to send those images to anyone else, you could be charged with distribution of child pornography. This is true for nude photos or language sent to a minor.
Texting with Sexual Content: “Sexting”
One of the easiest ways to communicate is through texting. Most people think that their conversations through text or instant message are private, but this is not the case when there are minors involved in the communication. If it is between two consenting adults, sexting is not illegal under Michigan law.
However, sending a sexually explicit message or image can lead to sex crime charges.
