The Internet has become an important part of many of our lives and it's easy to overlook the fact that this technology is still a relatively new. The laws that police crimes on the Internet are also new. Individuals who are using the Internet are sometimes not aware that they are committing a crime, until it is too late.

Types of Internet sex crimes:

• Solicitation or enticement of a minor
• Illustrations/graphic caricatures depicting sexual acts
• Downloading or possession of child pornography on computer hard drive
• Distribution of child porn over the Internet
• Child pornography file sharing
• Chat room indecency
• Interstate sexual exploitation
  

Most serious internet sex crimes are those that involve minors.  Downloading or uploading child pornography, using the internet to arrange for sexual contacts with people under the age of consent, or providing "obscene" material to children via email are all examples of internet sex crimes.

New York State enforcement agencies are now putting tremendous resources into investigating Internet sex crimes. They often share information and work together to investigate and even entrap computer users engaged in questionable activity. No criminal charge can ruin your life as quickly as an internet sex charge such as child porn, child rape or solicitation of a minor.
