Someone else had access to your device or network, or the material arrived without your knowledge.<\/li>\n<li><b>Mistake about age<\/b>. You took all reasonable steps to confirm the person was 18 or older (can be used for a making charge).<\/li>\n<li><b>Legitimate purpose. <\/b>The material relates to the administration of justice, science, medicine, education, or art, and poses no undue risk of harm.<\/li>\n<li><b>Charter violations<\/b>. An invalid search warrant for your devices can result in evidence being excluded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Seeking alternatives to trial<\/h3>\n<p><b>Where the evidence supports it, we can seek pre-trial resolution options with the Crown. Examples include:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategiccriminaldefence.com\/victoria\/diversion-program-resolutions\/\">Diversion<\/a>.

You agree to conditions, such as staying away from certain places.
