As the Internet becomes more and more an essential part of our daily lives
Internet or cyber crimes are increasingly becoming more commonplace. This is due not only to the utility of the Internet for a variety of constructive endeavors but also to the fact that any time an individual uses the Internet, even if they have deleted the material off of the computer, government agencies can and often do trace illegal online activity. You may or may not have acted intentionally, and yet, could face criminal investigation.
If you are facing a cyber or Internet crime investigation, you need a criminal defense attorney with an understanding of technology and the intricacies of cybercrime investigation and prosecution. Depending upon the facts and circumstances of your case, you may also require the assistance of an expert witness to analyze and interpret the electronic evidence.
Certain laws have been created specifically to address crimes committed with computers and also on the Internet.
Amongst those laws are the following offenses: Computer Crime, Internet Luring, Possession or Distribution of Child Pornography. Also, while not specifically enacted as crimes involving the use of computers and/or online, the following activities committed on computers or online can be criminally prosecuted: cyberbullying, cyberstalking, hacking, Internet extortion, and identity theft.

With so many people buying goods online these days, it’s not surprising to hear stories of identity theft connected to credit card fraud.
Recently, police in Denver investigated an identity theft crime in which a man and woman made multiple purchases at Walmart using another person’s credit card. The suspects are still at large. Crimes like this highlight how easy it is to take someone’s identity and information.
You’ve likely heard the term “contributing to the delinquency of a minor” on television and in the movies, but it’s not just a fictional buzzword – it’s a real crime with real legal consequences.
When an adult encourages a minor to participate in illegal activities – such as drinking alcohol or taking drugs – they can be charged with this crime. Take the case of a 33-year-old Colorado Springs man.
Fire is a powerful force. When it overtakes your home or business, the destruction can be devastating. Some fires are unfortunate accidents. However, when a fire occurs because someone intentionally set it, that is a crime: arson.
Arson isn’t a simple crime to define. A recent fire in an El Jebel restaurant is the perfect example. The suspect broke into the restaurant and prepared a plate of nachos for himself
