Understanding Possession of Child Pornography Charges in Massachusetts

What is Considered Child Pornography?

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272, Section 29C, Child Pornography includes any visual representation—photos, videos, or digital files—that depicts a person under 18 years old engaging in sexual conduct. Even if you accidentally received, downloaded, or stored illicit material, the law still holds you criminally responsible.

✔ Law enforcement cybercrime stings targeting online activity

✔ Accidental downloads from pop-ups, ads, or malware infections

✔ Cloud storage containing illicit material unknowingly

✔ Shared devices leading to false accusations

✔ Hacked accounts or unauthorized downloads

✔ Ex-partners, coworkers, or acquaintances making false allegations

🚨 Even if you had no knowledge of the material's presence, prosecutors may still aggressively pursue felony charges. You need a skilled Norwood defense attorney immediately.
