Possession of illicit/obscene pornographic materials


Under California’s Penal Code Section 311.1, any person who in this state posses, or brings into this state or publishes any photographs, films, data, image, etc, any obscene matter depicting a person under the age of 18 who is personally engaging in or simulating sexual conduct can be guilty of a misdemeanor or a felony.  Section 312.2 (b) makes it a felony with a maximum of 6 years in prison for anyone to knowingly send or bring child porn into California for commercial gain.  Both of these statutes require registration under Penal Code Section 290.  There are numerous other statues dealing with possession and distribution of obscene material and child pornography in California.  You should contact our experienced Orange County child porn defense attorneys to learn about your legal rights.
