Common Computer Crimes

A computer or internet crime is committed when any person who knowingly accesses, attempts to access or uses, or attempts to use, any computer, computer system, or computer network for the purpose of devising or executing a scheme or artifice to defraud another person. A scheme could relate to an attempt to obtain money, property, or services by means of false pretenses or promises.

Common examples of computer crimes include:

• Internet phishing
• Internet fraud
• Identity theft
• Cyberstalking
• Cybersex crimes

Child Exploitation and Internet Crimes

It is not uncommon for sex crimes and internet crimes to be related. With technology being increasingly accessible, it has been much easier for young children to access the internet. The federal government has dedicated a specific branch of the FBI to tracking internet crimes and internet sex crimes. This has led to nationwide investigations, through which the FBI has tried to crack down on repeat sex offenders by using fake internet profiles or tracking users through child pornography.

If you have been accused of an internet crime or have been subjected to an FBI investigation for an internet crime, you need to speak with a Medford internet crime attorney immediately. Computer crime cases are extremely intricate and demand the attention of a criminal defense lawyer that understands technology and the legal technicalities of cybercrime laws.
