Understanding Possession of CP Charges in Massachusetts
What Massachusetts Law Considers CP
Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272, Section 29C, CP includes photos, videos, or digital files showing anyone under 18 in sexual conduct. The law doesn't give much wiggle room. Even if the material landed on your device without your knowledge, the Commonwealth can still charge you with a serious felony.
How CP Charges Commonly Arise in Norwood
These cases often begin long before someone even realizes they're being investigated. Common triggers include:
✔ Law enforcement cybercrime sting operations
✔ Malware, viruses, or pop-ups that download files in the background
✔ Shared computers or devices that were accessed by someone else
✔ Cloud storage syncing unwanted files
✔ Unauthorized access or hacking
✔ False accusations from ex-partners, coworkers, or acquaintances
Even when you had zero intent or knowledge, investigators may still push forward with charges. That's where me and my team step in.
Penalties for Possession of CP in Massachusetts
Massachusetts carries some of the strictest penalties in the country for CP offenses:
First Offense
• Up to 5 years in state prison (or up to 2.5 years in county jail)
• Mandatory sex offender registration
• Up to $10,000 in fines
