Protecting Your Freedom, Reputation & Rights Under Florida § 847.0135

Allegations under Florida Statute § 847.0135—often involving computer or internet use to engage with someone believed to be under 18—carry serious legal consequences. These charges may arise from online sting operations, miscommunication, or mistaken identity, and may be prosecuted even when no actual minor is involved and no physical meeting occurs.

Conviction can result in felony penalties, mandatory sex offender registration, and long-term reputational harm.

If you're under investigation or have been charged under § 847.0135, it's essential to seek experienced legal counsel immediately.

Call One Call Legal now for a confidential and strategic defense.

What Florida Law Says & How Enforcement Works

Under Florida Statute § 847.0135, engaging in “computer pornography” is a serious felony offense. This includes:

  • Soliciting sexual activity with someone believed to be under 18
  • Traveling to meet a minor for illicit conduct
  • Initiating sexually explicit communication or arranging meetings via digital platforms

These offenses can be charged even if no actual minor is involved—communications with an undercover officer posing as a minor can result in arrest. Convictions often lead to prison time, sex offender registration, and lifelong consequences.

Why You Need Skilled Legal Counsel:

  • Messages can be misinterpreted or taken out of context
  • Sting operations may involve deceptive or coercive tactics
  • Cases of mistaken identity and entrapment are not uncommon
  • One online exchange may be enough for a felony charge

Effective Legal Defense Strategies

Our legal defense focuses on key angles to challenge charges:

  • 1 Entrapment: evaluating whether law enforcement induced conduct that the accused was not otherwise predisposed to commit.
  • 2 Lack of criminal intent: presenting evidence that the accused reasonably believed they were communicating with an adult
  • 3 No actual minor involved: addressing cases that rely solely on interactions with decoys, chatbots, or undercover agents posing as minors
  • 4 Unlawful search or surveillance: challenging the legality of investigative methods, including potential violations of constitutional rights or procedural safeguards
  • 5 Insufficient or ambiguous evidence: scrutinizing the clarity, context, and intent of digital communications to challenge the prosecution's narrative

We conduct a detailed review of message threads, timestamps, testimony, and law enforcement procedures to identify weaknesses in the case and uphold your legal rights.

Even one misinterpreted message isn’t proof—defenses are available. Call us to explore yours.
