What Is Child Pornography Under Tennessee Law? 

According to Tennessee and Georgia laws, child pornography is sexual exploitation involving the creation and/or distribution of obscene content involving a minor. Obscene content is usually photographs, videos, or audio of sexual acts committed against a child. 

Someone may be convicted of child pornography or sexual exploitation of a child if found guilty of the following:

  • Creating, producing, publishing, promoting, or otherwise engaging in the circulation of obscene content involving a minor
  • Knowingly possessing or purchasing child pornography
  • Employing, persuading, enticing, or coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit acts for the purpose of creating child pornography
  • Transporting child pornography into Tennessee or Georgia

Parents and guardians of children who allow the child to participate in child pornography may also be charged with sexual exploitation and those who fail to report child pornography may face a misdemeanor charge. 

Defending Your Child Pornography Case

Prosecutors do not tolerate sexual exploitation of children. If you are accused of possession, production, or promotion of child pornography, you could face between 15-30 years in prison or 25-50 years if you have a previous conviction involving sexual exploitation. 

Sex crimes, especially those involving minors are not only extreme violations under the law, but even the accusation of sexual exploitation can destroy your life. Arrests, charges, and convictions are all a part of your criminal record which is available to employers and other interested parties. Whether you are convicted of child pornography or have just been arrested, your record will carry the stain of a child pornography charge for years.
