Vermont law enforcement executed a search warrant of my property for suspicion of child pornography. Will I be charged in Federal or Vermont State court?

Published by Jessica Burke on

It depends. Charges subject to concurrent jurisdiction may originate (another way of saying “be charged”) in either court. Some statutes such as possession of child pornography and distribution of child pornography are subject to concurrent jurisdiction with Vermont state and federal courts. At Burke Law, our attorneys have defended both Vermont state and Vermont federal child pornography charges. Contact us today to discuss your case.
