What Is Possession of Child Pornography Under Massachusetts Law?
In Massachusetts, possession of child pornography is governed by M.G.L. Chapter 272, Section 29C, which prohibits knowingly possessing visual material depicting individuals under 18 engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Charges may stem from images, videos, or digital files found on devices such as computers, phones, or external drives.
Key elements of the offense include:
🔹 Knowing Possession: You must have knowingly possessed the material.
🔹 Material Content: The material must depict minors in sexually explicit acts.
