What Are The Charges For Exploitation Of Minors?
Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1003 and § 39-17-1004 describe the "exploitation of minor" offenses. These crimes are divided into two offenses: exploitation of a minor, which concerns possession of child pornography, and aggravated exploitation of a child, which involves the sale, distribution, transport, promotion, or exchange of this material. The severity of both crimes depends on the quantity of the materials found by authorities.
The exploitation of a minor charge is as follows:
- 50 images or materials or less is a Class D felony
- More than 50 images or materials is a Class C felony
- More than 100 images or materials is a Class B felony
Aggravated exploitation of minor charge is as follows:
- 25 images or materials or less is a Class C felony
- More than 25 images or materials is a Class B felony
Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1005 also describes "especially aggravated exploitation of a minor," which is reserved for producers or creators of child pornography and is a Class B felony. Conviction of any of these crimes will result in significant jail time. As with any sex crime, these offenses also come with a substantial stigma that must be powerfully countered.
