Types of Internet Crimes in Newport Beach
A Newport Beach internet crimes lawyer may be able to defend you against
charges for any number of internet crimes in Newport Beach or
Huntington Beach. Fraudulent internet activities include phishing, mass-market fraud, identity
theft, credit card fraud, auction fraud, spoofing and other wire fraud
crimes. Because of the nature of the internet, those accused of cybercrimes
could be facing federal charges if the offense involves victims across
state lines. Other actions that could involve federal punishment are internet
crimes involving child pornography, solicitation of a minor, prostitution
and other
sex crimes using the internet in some way. Whether state or federal, the consequences
can be severe so it is vital to have strong representation.
