Sexual exploitation of a minor is not a single charge in North Carolina. It is a three-tiered criminal offense defined under N.C.G.S. §§ 14-190.16, 14-190.17, and 14-190.17A. Each degree carries different elements, different felony classifications, and very different prison ranges — from a Class H felony for possession to a Class C felony for production. […]
A false rape accusation can lead to a conviction in North Carolina even without physical evidence, forensic proof, or a single witness beyond the accuser. That is not an exaggeration. North Carolina law does not require supporting evidence for sex offense convictions. A jury can convict based on one person’s testimony alone if they find […]
Registered sex offenders in North Carolina face a specific set of legal restrictions that control where they can go, what they must report to law enforcement, and how they live for decades after their conviction. These restrictions are not optional guidelines — they are legal requirements under N.C.G.S. § 14-208 and related statutes, and violating […]

But the severity of the charge depends on the specific circumstances, including the defendant’s […]
Child pornography charges in North Carolina are prosecuted under a three-tiered felony structure that distinguishes between production, distribution, and possession. The penalties, consequences, and long-term effects differ substantially depending on which tier applies. Whether you are facing charges, expect to be charged, or are trying to understand what someone close to you is up against, […]
North Carolina cannot impose a blanket ban preventing registered sex offenders from using social media. The U.S. Supreme Court settled that question in 2017 when it struck down a North Carolina law that made it a felony for any registered sex offender to access sites like Facebook. But that ruling did not eliminate every restriction […]
