Westwood Possession of CP Defense Lawyer

Me and my team here at The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett understand that being charged with Possession of Child Pornography (CP) in Westwood, MA is one of the most serious and life-altering criminal allegations someone can face. These cases involve aggressive investigations, severe penalties, and consequences that can impact the rest of your life. If you are under investigation or have already been charged, you need immediate and highly specialized legal defense.

Understanding Possession of CP Charges in Massachusetts

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 272, Section 29C, it is illegal to knowingly possess, access, or distribute any media involving minors engaged in explicit content.

Modern CP investigations often involve:

Digital forensic examinations
Undercover online sting operations
Computer and device seizures
Subpoenas to internet providers
Monitoring of download activity (torrent/IP tracking)

Because of the broad scope of these investigations, many innocent individuals are wrongfully accused due to digital errors, hacking, or unauthorized access.

Me and my team take immediate action to protect your rights and begin building a strong, strategic defense.

Common Scenarios Leading to CP Charges in Westwood

Many Possession of CP cases arise from situations that were never intentional, including:

Accidental downloads from spam links or pop-ups
Malware or viruses placing files on your device
Shared computers or cloud accounts
Hacked email or social media
False accusations from ex-partners, coworkers, or family
Law enforcement sting operations
Peer-to-peer file sharing that downloads files automatically

These situations require careful forensic review. Not all files on a device are placed there knowingly—and the law recognizes this.

Legal Defenses for Possession of CP Charges

Every case is different, and a successful defense requires immediate forensic and legal analysis.

Me and my team here at The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett build targeted defenses such as:

Lack of Knowledge

Files were downloaded automatically, unknowingly, or without intent.

Unlawful Search & Seizure

If police seized devices without a valid warrant or violated your constitutional rights, evidence may be suppressed.

Hacking or Malware

Viruses and remote access tools commonly plant files without the user's knowledge.

Shared Devices / Mistaken Identity

Multiple users on one computer or network can create reasonable doubt.

Insufficient Evidence

The prosecution must prove actual knowing possession—which is often far more complex than they claim.
