Even with no prior criminal history, a defendant charged with “Sexual Abuse of Children” (Pennsylvania’s child pornography statute, 18 Pa.C.S. §6312) faces significant jail time and the potential for mandatory lifetime sex offender registration under Pennsylvania’s Megan’s Law. The consequences vary depending on whether the defendant is convicted of possessing, distribution and/or producing child pornography.
