A food service employee at Walt Disney World has been arrested and charged with 200 counts of possessing child pornography.   According to a spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office, during an investigation more than 5,000 images of young children without clothing on were found on the suspect's computer.

The 32 year old man is being held in the county jail with bond set at $10,000 for each felony count.

Possessing, producing or trafficking in images of actual children undressed or engaged in sexual activity is a crime under both state and federal law.  The First Amendment does not protect either child pornography or obscenity.  Virtually everything that you do on the internet is recorded somewhere, where law enforcement can and will become involved.  Federal and state law enforcement agencies are extremely aggressive in prosecuting those charged with child pornography.

A conviction of child pornography is punished severely where judges have little discretion when handing down sentences.  If you suspect that you are being investigated for any type of child pornography or child sex crime, you need to seek legal representation before you are arrested and charged.  Musca Law will use their experience and knowledge to defend you aggressively and effectively.

If you have been charged with a child pornography crime contact Musca Law to discuss your case, attorneys at Musca Law understand that the stakes are very high.  You can be assured that they will fight to keep you out of jail and diligently work to minimize as much as possible the consequences of a child pornography charge.
