Internet & Computer Crime Defense Attorneys
At Schembs Sweeney Law, we work with clients who have been charged with internet and computer crimes in Indianapolis. Both federal and state law enforcement agencies have been closely monitoring crimes that are committed online, especially those crimes involving children. Due to the frequency with which these internet crimes occur, law enforcement agencies make investigating these matters a priority and many times investigators themselves pose as underage children on the internet with the intent to incriminate people who attempt to solicit sex from minors. The anonymity of the internet seems to be both the appeal and downfall of using this method to commit crimes, and more and more people in Indianapolis are being charged with these types of crimes every day.
The problem with many computer & internet crimes is that criminal activity can be tracked and monitored, but it can be hard to prove that a specific person or computer committed the crime. Your Indianapolis criminal defense lawyer will do everything they can to make it difficult for prosecuting attorneys to prove that you were the person committing the internet or computer crime.
