Sex Crimes / Child Pornography
In the United States, all people are innocent until proven guilty. But if you've been charged with a sex crime, it often doesn't feel that way.

The Search And Seizure Of Your Computer
Child pornography, online solicitation of a minor and other Internet-related sex crimes often hinge on electronic evidence. Laws regarding privacy and the search and seizure of computers, cellphones and other electronic devices are highly complex.
Attorney Peter D. Zellmer knows when police have crossed the line. He can create compelling arguments to block the introduction of electronic evidence and protect your constitutional right to privacy.
Sex Offender Registration
If you are convicted of a sex offense in North Carolina, you will have to register as a sex offender. This means years — if not a lifetime — of government oversight. There will be restrictions on where you can live, where you can travel within the state, and even rules regarding how you interact with your own children at their schools.
The best way to avoid registration is to defeat your criminal charge from the outset. If you are convicted, however, there may be a way to remove yourself from the sex offender registry.
