Case Overview

At The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett, me and my team handle highly sensitive and serious criminal allegations with precision and discretion. In this case, a 20-year-old client was charged in Natick District Court with Possession and Distribution of Child Pornography following an investigation by the Wayland Police Department.

The charges arose after law enforcement received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) alleging that prohibited material had been uploaded from an internet connection associated with the client.

The Defense

Attorney Ken Barrett conducted a thorough review of the digital evidence and identified critical weaknesses in the Commonwealth's case. Most importantly:

• No prohibited materials were found on the client's electronic devices

• The evidence did not establish that the client was the individual responsible for the alleged upload

• The investigation failed to rule out third-party access to the Wi-Fi network where the activity allegedly occurred

Attorney Barrett filed a series of pretrial motions challenging the sufficiency and reliability of the evidence, while preparing the case for trial.

The Outcome

On the scheduled trial date, after reviewing the weaknesses in the case and the defense's arguments, the prosecution declined to proceed. All charges against the client were dismissed in full.

This result protected the client from the devastating consequences associated with these types of allegations, including potential incarceration and mandatory sex offender registration.
