Understanding Possession of CP Charges in Massachusetts

Under M.G.L. Chapter 272, Section 29C, Massachusetts law criminalizes the possession, access, or distribution of any image or digital file depicting a minor under 18 engaged in sexually explicit conduct. These cases often involve:

Digital forensic investigations
Seizure of computers, phones, or cloud data
Undercover online operations
Search warrants executed by police or task forces

Common Scenarios Leading to CP Charges in Dover

Unintentional downloads caused by malware, viruses, or pop-ups
Files stored on shared devices, work computers, or cloud accounts
Hacked accounts or unauthorized access by third parties
Online law enforcement sting operations
False accusations made during personal disputes

Being charged does not mean you are guilty. These cases are complex, and digital evidence is often misunderstood or misinterpreted.

Legal Defenses for Possession of CP Charges

These cases turn on digital evidence—something that is often far more complicated than prosecutors claim. Me and my team build defenses such as:

✔ Lack of Knowledge

Accidental downloads, malware, or hidden files that were never knowingly accessed.

✔ Unlawful Search & Seizure

If police lacked probable cause or a valid warrant, evidence may be suppressed.

✔ Mistaken Identity / Shared Device

Multiple individuals using the same device or network.

✔ Hacking or Unauthorized Access

Third-party actors may have controlled your device or accounts without your knowledge.

✔ Insufficient Evidence

The state must prove knowing possession beyond a reasonable doubt—many cases fail under scrutiny.

Me and my team work with highly experienced digital forensic experts to analyze the evidence, challenge the state's claims, and uncover the truth.
