If you are convicted in Louisiana of possessing child pornography, you will almost certainly have to serve time in jail. You will also be publicly labeled a sex offender and child predator and be required to register your name, address, the crime and other personal information on a public database called the Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry.

Status as a convicted sex offender and child predator restricts where you can live and where you can work, not to mention your relationships with family members and community members. In addition, a felony child pornography conviction can affect your right to possess a firearm.

The minimum registration period is 15 years. 25 years is more common for crimes like possession or distribution of child pornography. Only with an experienced attorney by your side can you hope to avoid these severe penalties that could impact you for the rest of your life.
