The rapid increase in the use of the Internet by people of all walks of life in the past decade has led to a steady increase in internet crimes, including identity fraud and child pornography offenses. Law enforcement agencies take such crimes very seriously and often go to great lengths to snare offenders. Federal agents go into chat rooms and pose as young teenagers. Then they wait and watch for someone to solicit sexual favors.

Mr. Hanle fights to make sure that the prosecution proves without a doubt that the person accused was indeed the one who committed 100% of the offenses that are charged. When appropriate, he seeks to demonstrate that the accused did not solicit or willingly receive the child pornography on her computer. If the charges prove to be correct, Mr. Hanle works hard to take advantage of any defense that is available, including arguments of mitigating circumstances such as a history of abuse in the accused person's own childhood.
