CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CASE IN BRIARCLIFF MANOR DISMISSED
Our criminal defense lawyer recently represented a client in the Briarcliff Manor Justice Court charged with numerous felony counts of possessing and promoting child pornography.

Under New York Penal Law 263.10 sharing and downloading child pornography is a Class D felony.
