Ohio Child Pornography Laws

In Ohio, it is against the law to possess, receive, share, or transport child pornography. Children are not able to consent to obscene or sexual acts due to their young age, which makes it illegal to watch kids participate in actual or simulated sexual conduct.

The following are the most common child pornography charges in Ohio:

  • Pandering obscenity or sexually-oriented matter involving a minor – A person can be charged with either pandering obscenity or sexually-oriented matter involving young children if he/she produces, sells, purchases, possess, or brings child pornography into the state. A conviction can result in a maximum prison sentence of eight years per charge.
  • Illegal use of a minor in material involving nudity – A person can be charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material if he/she creates such materials or allows their child to be used. A conviction is also punishable by a prison sentence of up to eight years per charge.

Furthermore, a person charged with state child pornography crimes can also be subject to federal penalties as well. If convicted, he/she can face a prison sentence between 30 years and life.
