Understanding Possession of CP Charges in Massachusetts
What Is Considered CP?
Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272, Section 29C, CP includes any visual representation—photos, videos, or digital files—depicting a minor (under age 18) engaged in sexual conduct.
The law is extremely strict and covers:
-
Material intentionally downloaded
-
Files automatically saved from pop-ups or ads
-
Content unknowingly received through email, AirDrop, messaging apps, or shared devices
-
Files downloaded by malware, viruses, or hacking
Many individuals are charged without ever intending to possess or view illegal content.

Defenses Me and My Team Build in Brookline CP Cases
CP cases are complex, technical, and forensic-driven. At The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett, we work with advanced digital forensic specialists and use aggressive defense strategies, including:
âś” Lack of Knowledge
If you did not knowingly possess CP—accidental downloads, hacking, pop-ups, malware, or automatic file syncing—we will challenge the prosecution's case at every level.
âś” Unlawful Search and Seizure
If police lacked probable cause, used faulty warrants, or violated your constitutional rights, we can seek suppression or dismissal.
âś” Mistaken Identity
Shared computers, family devices, coworkers, roommates, or unauthorized access often result in wrongful accusations.
âś” Hacking or Malware Defense
Many cases involve viruses or remote access that plants illicit material without the user's knowledge.
âś” Insufficient Evidence
Prosecutors must prove knowledge, intent, and possession beyond a reasonable doubt. If the evidence is weak, we fight to have your case dismissed.
