California Penal Code § 311: Child Pornography
Child pornography may be charged at a state or federal level, depending on whether state lines or national borders were crossed in the alleged commission of the offense. If it is charged at a state level, California Penal Code §§ 311.1, 311.2, 311.3, 311.4, 311.10, and 311.11 may apply.
According to California law, it is illegal to knowingly:
- Possess pornographic material produced using a minor under the age of 18.
- Transport, send, produce, or duplicate any child pornography.
- Develop, print, or develop any child pornography.
- Persuade, hire, or coerce a minor in the production of child pornography.
- Advertise child pornography for sale or distribution.
Child pornography may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, with penalties ranging from 1 year in county jail to 8 years in state prison. You can also face charges for multiple counts of child pornography offenses, greatly increasing the potential penalties imposed by the court.
