Defense Against Child Pornography Charges in Michigan

Strategic. Skilled. Unapologetically Relentless.

Being accused of a child pornography offense can feel like your life is unraveling. These charges come fast, hit hard, and carry extreme consequences — often before you even step foot in a courtroom. From law enforcement raids to frozen accounts and the loss of employment or custody, the damage can begin with just an accusation.

At Avanti Law, we know how overwhelming this is. You need more than just a lawyer — you need attorney Raquel Guzman, a strategist, a defender, and someone who will fight to protect not only your legal rights but your humanity.

Michigan Child Pornography Laws

Michigan law defines child sexually abusive material (CSAM) under MCL 750.145c, and charges may include:

  • Possessing, viewing, or downloading CSAM
  • Producing or distributing sexually abusive material involving minors
  • Using a computer or digital platform to engage in or facilitate these acts

Penalties range from imprisonment and lifetime registration on the sex offender registry to permanent loss of parental rights, professional licenses, or immigration status. The law is strict — but that does not mean every person charged is guilty or without defense.

These are often complex digital evidence cases, where overbroad warrants, shared devices, or technical misinterpretations can play a central role. We dig deep into the facts, and we hold the government accountable at every step.
