Facing Child Pornography Charges in Brisbane?

Child pornography offences in Queensland are prosecuted under the Criminal Code Act 1899 (Qld), particularly sections 228A to 228H. These laws make it an offence to possess, distribute, produce, or access child exploitation material (CEM), also referred to as child abuse material.

The term “child pornography” covers any material that depicts a person under the age of 16 (or who appears to be) in a sexual context or in a way that exploits them. This can include images, videos, written content, or digital files. Charges can arise from:

  • Police searches of computers or phones
  • Online activity monitored by law enforcement
  • Reports made by third parties
  • Border security interceptions

Even if you’re unsure how the material came to be on your device, it’s strongly advised to seek legal advice before speaking with police. What you say early on can have a major impact on the outcome of your case.

The Consequences of a Child Pornography Conviction

Convictions for child exploitation material offences carry serious penalties, including:

  • Lengthy terms of imprisonment
  • Mandatory reporting under the Child Protection (Offender Reporting) Act
  • Lifetime restrictions on employment and travel
  • Permanent criminal record

Beyond the legal penalties, the reputational damage can be devastating. Allegations alone can impact your employment, family relationships, and mental health. Early legal intervention can often result in reduced charges, alternative sentencing options, or in some cases, having the charges withdrawn.
