Georgia v. Cosmo
Annotate this CaseDennis Cosmo was convicted of, among other things, a violation of section (d) (1) of the former version of the “Computer or Electronic Pornographic and Child Exploitation Prevention Act” prior to the statute’s amendment in 2013. That conviction was reversed by the Court of Appeals. The State petitioned for certiorari to consider whether proof of a direct communication with a child is required to prove a violation of the statute. Upon review, the Supreme Court concluded that direct communication was not required for a conviction pursuant to the crime as charged in this case, and the Court reversed the Court of Appeals as it related to his conviction for violation of this statute.
