At Cannon & Associates, we understand how overwhelming it can be to face these accusations—and we’re here to fight for your future.
Wondering what to do after being accused of a cyber crime?
Being investigated or charged with an internet-related crime can be overwhelming. These cases often move quickly, and the penalties can be severe. At Cannon & Associates, we understand that you’re worried about your reputation, your future, and possibly your career. We want you to know you have options, and we’re here to guide you through every step of the process.
What Is a Considered Cyber Crime in Oklahoma?
Cyber crimes—also known as computer crimes or internet crimes—cover a wide range of offenses involving digital devices, online activity, or network access. These can include identity theft, financial fraud, unauthorized access to protected systems, cyberstalking, and the distribution of illegal content.
Both state and federal law enforcement agencies aggressively investigate cyber crimes, often using advanced surveillance and forensic tools. If you’ve been contacted by authorities, had devices seized, or suspect you’re under investigation—it’s critical to speak with a qualified defense attorney right away. At Cannon & Associates, we defend clients in both state and federal cyber crime investigations, and we work to intervene early—often before charges are formally filed.
Common Types of Cyber Crime Cases & Penalties
Our Oklahoma cyber crime defense lawyers are experienced in a wide range of digital and internet-related criminal allegations, including:
- Identity theft and online impersonation
- Wire fraud and phishing schemes
- Unlawful access to computers or networks (hacking)
- Cyberstalking and harassment
- Exploitation allegations
- Online solicitation of a minor
- Non-consensual image distribution
- Internet-based scams or extortion
- Credit card fraud or financial data breaches
Cyber crimes carry serious consequences, often resulting in felony charges that can lead to years in prison, significant fines, restitution, and the forfeiture of assets.
Depending on the nature of the offense, you could face mandatory sex offender registration in cases involving minors or explicit material, as well as lifetime restrictions on internet use, employment, and housing opportunities. Federal charges may bring even harsher penalties, especially in cases involving financial institutions, children, or national security systems. Sentencing is often influenced by factors such as the intended loss amounts, the number of victims involved, and the sophistication of the crime. If you are facing charges of a cyber crime, our primary goal is to seek dismissal or reduction of charges to minimize the long-term impact on your life and future. If you’re facing any of these charges—or believe you may be under investigation—our team is ready to protect you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cyber Crime Charges
1. Can I be charged if someone else used my device for a cyber crime?
Yes, it’s possible to be charged even if someone else used your device for illegal activity. We carefully analyze access logs, user accounts, and IP addresses to challenge these assumptions and protect your rights.
2. Are cyber crimes always prosecuted at the federal level?
Not always. Many cyber crimes are handled at the state level, but if the crime involves interstate communication, federal property, or financial institutions, it may be prosecuted federally.
3. Can I avoid jail time for a cyber crime in Oklahoma?
In some cases, yes. At Cannon & Associates, we pursue every avenue to reduce or dismiss charges. We also work toward alternative sentencing options, such as probation or diversion programs, when appropriate, to minimize the potential for jail time.
4. How long do cyber crime investigations last?
Cyber crime investigations can sometimes span months or even years before a suspect is aware. It’s important to seek legal advice early in the process to avoid missteps that could harm your defense and to better understand the scope of the investigation.
5. Can I get charged with a cyber crime if it’s a false accusation?
Yes, false accusations are unfortunately possible in cyber crime cases, just like in other criminal matters. However, prosecutors must prove your involvement in the crime. We work tirelessly to investigate the facts and build a strong defense to clear your name.
6. What happens if this is my first cyber crime charge in Oklahoma?
If this is your first charge, the penalties may be less severe than for repeat offenders, but they can still carry significant consequences. We work to reduce charges, minimize penalties, and explore all possible avenues to protect your future.
