Ohio Child Pornography Laws
In Ohio, it is against the law to possess, receive, share, or transport child pornography. Children are not able to consent to obscene or sexual acts due to their young age, which makes it illegal to watch kids participate in actual or simulated sexual conduct.
The following are the most common child pornography charges in Ohio:
- Pandering obscenity or sexually-oriented matter involving a minor – A person can be charged with either pandering obscenity or sexually-oriented matter involving young children if he/she produces, sells, purchases, possess, or brings child pornography into the state. A conviction can result in a maximum prison sentence of eight years per charge.
- Illegal use of a minor in material involving nudity – A person can be charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material if he/she creates such materials or allows their child to be used. A conviction is also punishable by a prison sentence of up to eight years per charge.
Furthermore, a person charged with state child pornography crimes can also be subject to federal penalties as well. If convicted, he/she can face a prison sentence between 30 years and life.

"Patrick and his team are the only choice!"My husband was forced to defend himself at our home but that put him in jail. I first went with another lawyer, Mike Mills, who took my money and that was it. Feeling hopeless, I contacted Patrick’s team and they didn’t disappoint. Within 3 hours, Patrick was at jail speaking with my husband and a few days later, Patrick had him home. When you call the office, everyone helps you. You are not just another case to them; I know and experienced it. They are a team you want to be on your family’s side! Thank you Patrick and Laura and team - you are the best, thank you!- Jackson

"Best Lawyer ever."Patrick Mulligan took on my case in May 1996 not knowing how things would go. My case being his first Big case. He saved my life. I have still to this day will always remember and be Thankful to him for trusting and believing in me. I was a mother of a daughter 19 months old who as killed by my boyfriend at the time. The state tried to prove me for child endangering and wanting me to serve 18 months in prison. Parick didnt know until that point what he had gotten into . Patrick did everything he could to prove I was a good mother. It was almost a year after my daughters life was taken. We went to trail and I stood on the stand with all my friends and Dr.'s. Patrick worked so hard for me and we won and here I am 15 years later . I found his web site and had to tell my story. Anyone who needs his help he will work as hard as he can for anyone he believs in. I'm so gald to see he is still in Cinti helping people. Thank you Patrick. I will talk to you soon.- Stacy

"Help in the Middle of the Night"Mr. Mulligan made all the difference in my case. Through his yellow page ad, I was able to reach him in the middle of the night, after my ex-wife had me falsely arrested for Domestic Violence Verbal. He was prompt in coming to my assistance. He went out of his way to help reach my family so that they could get me released from holding. He answered all my questions and walked me through the entire process. He was able to get the results I was hoping for at the pre-trial, so that we did not actually have to go through an actual trial. Mr. Mulligan exceeded all my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar unfortunate situation. He was a Godsend for me.- Mark
