Understanding Possession of Child Pornography Charges in Massachusetts

What Constitutes Possession of Child Pornography in Massachusetts?

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272, Section 29C, it is illegal to knowingly possess, access, or distribute explicit materials involving minors. However, many defendants unknowingly have illicit content on their devices due to:

✔ Accidental downloads through emails, pop-ups, or spam links

✔ Shared devices or cloud storage used by multiple people

✔ Hacked accounts or unauthorized access to personal computers

✔ False accusations from ex-spouses, coworkers, or online interactions

✔ Law enforcement sting operations on file-sharing platforms

🚨 Even if you were unaware of the content, prosecutors can still pursue charges. That's why immediate legal action is essential.
