Computer Crimes

Kentucky Internet Crime/Computer Crime Lawyer

Crimes involving computers are making headlines nationwide. If you have been charged with a computer-related crime that involves theft or child pornography, you need aggressive representation of your rights. At the Davis Law Office, we can help you if you have been arrested for an Internet crime or other computer crime.

As a former state and federal prosecutor, attorney E. Brian Davis of the Davis Law Office has extensive experience with how computers are used in the commission of crimes and how to track individuals committing those crimes. During his time as a federal prosecutor, attorney Davis held the title of Computer Crime and Telecommunications Fraud Coordinator. The classes on computer crime that he attended as a prosecutor were attended or taught by Secret Service and FBI personnel. His experience in this area benefits his clients charged with similar crimes.

Computers are often used to cause mischief or steal data. Hackers can cause mayhem with a company website by significantly changing the content. Proprietary data has been stolen through illegal access to a company's server. A computer can also serve as a means to transport illegal material, including child pornography.

The actions of Internet predators are gaining a great deal of mainstream attention, with entire hours of network television programs devoted to the capture of these individuals. In those cases, computers are allegedly used as a tool to entice purported "minors" through instant messaging and emails. Stings are often set up to snare a large number of offenders. Other predatory actions and stalking are motivated by finances. Those actions include those who start communication with a wealthy older person and con them out of their money.

Defending a client charged with an Internet crime/computer crime presents unique challenges. If the evidence in a computer crime case (including evidence obtained through chat room logs and IP addresses) is strong, the goal will be to avoid or minimize a potentially devastating sentence. A charge of an Internet sex crime alone carries a stigma that is akin to a conviction. Aggressive representation from an attorney who is knowledgeable and experienced in this area of the law can help you mount a strong defense.
