Penetration Enhancement

Child Pornography Lawyer in Las Vegas

In 1978 Congress acted to make sentencing uniform throughout the federal court system. It established a point system composed of a possible 43 levels which govern the sentence an individual receives.  Conviction of a particular crime carries a certain number of assigned levels. Aggravating or mitigating factors carry enhancements and reductions of levels.  The end calculation determines whether the convicted person receives probation, a mandatory sentence and for how long. 

Sexual penetration of a child under age 16, traditionally known as statutory rape, has an enhancement of 18 levels.  If defendant used the computer to set up the meeting there is an additional enhancement of 2 levels.  If the defendant used a false identity to entice the minor in chat rooms, there is an enhancement of 4 more levels.  If the minor was in the custody or care of the defendant, there is an enhancement of 4 levels.  

If you are charged with a penetration enhancement, you face prison time, fines and mandatory registration as a sex offender. It is vital you contact a child pornography attorney in Las Vegas for strong legal defense.
