Computer Crimes

Identity Theft, Sex Crimes and other Computer Related Crimes

In the era of the Internet and the ubiquitous presence of computer technology and digital media, the environment for computer crime is rich. We all have access to desktop computers, laptops, tablets, Internet-connected game consoles, and smart phones. Each year, thousands of people have their identities stolen, their accounts hacked, and their security breached through a computer. Furthermore, sex crime—illegal pornography, sexting, sexual harassment, prostitution—involving computers has increased exponentially over the last decade. Financial crimes related to securities fraud, money laundering, and RICO related charges involving computers are becoming more common place as well. Illegal file sharing also signals a new era in crime. Many of these crimes carry harsh penalties.

Law enforcement agencies at the federal, state and local level are often frustrated in their attempts to stop computer crimes. Legislation often lags far behind technological innovation. As a result, poor laws are often created and law enforcement officials overreact when they do find a target to accuse. Many times, people who are being persecuted for computer crimes call attorney Joseph Ingram for protection.

Cases involving Allegations of Computer Crimes are Complex

Part of the complexity of computer crimes is related to jurisdiction. Local, state, federal and even international bodies may become involved with such investigations. Laws may have allegedly been broken in several states and many countries. Computers and the Internet know no borders. Furthermore, when issues of piracy are involved, massive corporations may be pressuring an aggressive prosecution. When computer sex crimes are involved, politicians, law enforcement officers and the general public show no mercy. Neither do prosecutors or judges. Even when allegations are unfounded or evidence is lacking, the world may treat the accused as guilty. In such a world, a strong criminal defense may be all that stands between the Constitution and injustice.
