A 47-year-old South Boston man is in jail on $100,000 bail for Massachusetts child pornography charges, including one count of possession of child pornography and one count of distributing child pornography.
A Boston defense lawyer experienced in handling Massachusetts Internet pornography charges and child pornography charges should be called to represent anyone charged with a Massachusetts sex crime. In particular, Internet pornography charges are becoming far more common, as are cases where another computer user, or even a computer virus, is found to be responsible for the images.
In this case, the Boston Herald reported that investigators uncovered one of the world's largest child-porn collections, depicting girls as young as 5 or 6 years old having sex with men. Authorities allegedly found 16,000 child porn files on file-sharing software contained on the defendant's computer.
The defendant, who is the father of five adult children, reportedly made a confession to officers but he pleaded not guilty to both counts at his arraignment in South Boston District Court. His defense attorney called the technology investigators use to track Internet pornography "flawed," and said the number of files had no relevance to the case at all.
The investigation began after an alert from Pennsylvania authorities that the defendant could be sharing files containing child pornography.
