Signs You Are Under Investigation

There are several indicators that you are being investigated for child pornography, including:

• Law enforcement contact: If the police or detectives ask to question you or search your property, it may mean an investigation is underway.
• Search warrants: Receiving a search warrant for your home, computer or other electronic devices is a clear sign of an investigation.
• Subpoenas: Being served with a subpoena to provide documents or testify in court typically means you are involved in an investigation.

Noticing strange or unusual activity, such as surveillance or monitoring of your online activities, can be another sign that you are under investigation.

Steps To Take If Under Investigation

If you suspect that you are being investigated, take the following steps to protect your defense:

• Exercise your right to remain silent and avoid speaking to law enforcement without representation.
• Avoid deleting or tampering with any evidence, as this can lead to additional charges.
• Keep records of any interactions with law enforcement and any unusual activities you notice.

An experienced attorney can explain your situation clearly and provide guidance on how to proceed with your defense. The faster you act, the better your chances of success if the investigation leads to formal child pornography charges.
