Internet Chat Rooms

Internet chat rooms are a constant resource for law enforcement agencies to carry out operations to find and investigate potential child sexual abuse offenders as well as child pornography offenders. In fact, law enforcement officers are now entering chat rooms and posing either as minors or as adults interested in distributing or purchasing child pornography.

Were you visiting a chat room and have now found that you are facing child pornography charges or other sex offense charges involving a minor? A criminal defense attorney at Okabe & Haushalter can help you. We have extensive experience applicable to child pornography charges in particular, and this includes those that involve internet chat rooms and undercover operations conducted by Los Angeles law enforcement officers. Because of our knowledge and expertise in this area, we are able to create an innovative defense strategy that offers our clients the best opportunity at a successful case outcome – no matter how serious the charges or how hopeless the case may seem.

A factor we often come across in child pornography cases that involve chat rooms and undercover operations is the subject of entrapment. Was the undercover operation entirely legal, or were you coerced or persuaded into committing an offense that you had no predisposition of committing? Were you falsely accused of child pornography or luring a minor based upon an undercover operation? Did you actually even do anything wrong?
