Penalties for Possession and Distribution of Child Pornography
Child pornography is any sexual activity or images involving minors of a pre-pubescent or pubescent age. In a child pornography case, the prosecution must prove that the defendant "knowingly" participated in the production, possession, or distribution of pornography-related materials involving a minor under 18 years of age.
Possession of child pornography is considered a felony in California, punishable by a maximum jail sentence of three years and a fine of up to $2,500. Distribution of child pornography is also a felony, punishable by a prison sentence of up to four years and a maximum fine of $10,000. Furthermore, a conviction of either crime requires the defendant to register as a sex offender.
