27 Jun Man arrested in Maryland and accused of child pornography

On behalf of Jack B. Rubin, PA posted in Internet Crimes on Friday, June 27, 2014.

Maryland detectives discovered in May 2014 that images of children in a pornographic light were being distributed from a location on Edenvale Road. This discovery led to an investigation and a visit to the location. It was determined that it was the home of a 44-year-old man who was an employee with the local synagogue. Ultimately, the man was accused of child pornography.

On June 12, 2014, authorities seized numerous items from the home that were used to store computer information, such as images. On these devices, detectives discovered numerous images of child pornography. The man was then arrested and charged with the possession and distribution of child porn.

At this time, none of the images that were found at the man’s home were of the children at the synagogue. However, he is no longer employed there nor is he permitted on the premises. The investigation is ongoing and further charges could be filed once all storage devices from the man’s house have been adequately reviewed.

These accusations that this man faces are very serious in nature. They could result in significant time behind bars. He is also faced with a social stigma that is often associated with sex-crime allegations. His reputation will further be damaged if he is found guilty of the charges and convicted of the crime.

Any person accused of child pornography in Maryland, including this man, would do well to fully understand what his or her legal rights are. One will also want to ensure that one’s rights are protected and never violated as he or she moves forward in criminal proceedings. An individual may wish to obtain help in examining and analyzing all evidence that the prosecution may bring against him or her so that an adequate criminal defense can be formed. This may help an accused individual avoid jail time or obtain a reduced sentence.
