Federal Sex Crimes Are Different

Because the Internet is a conduit for fast and easy flow of information and images across state lines without anyone having to even leave the house, federal authorities often have jurisdiction over Internet sex crimes as well as crimes involving the distribution or manufacture of child pornography.

  • Different rules: The federal court system has its own set of evidentiary and procedural rules.
  • Aggressive prosecution: United States attorneys prosecute sex crimes aggressively, especially where the crimes involve children or images of children.
  • Complex evidentiary issues: With most sex crimes, there are issues around physical and forensic evidence, witness reliability and, in Internet cases, technological issues and evidentiary problems.
