FAQs – CP Charges for Curry Students
What if I didn't know the file contained illegal content?
Intent and knowledge are critical elements. We can challenge how the file arrived, was labeled, or whether you were aware of its contents.
Can I be charged for receiving content I didn't ask for?
Yes, but receiving unsolicited content and deleting it immediately is not a crime. Failing to delete or opening it multiple times can trigger prosecution.
Will Curry expel me just for being investigated?
Possibly. The school may impose interim measures, such as suspension or no-campus orders, while the case is pending.
