    Angry Getting Lesser Charges

    I was wondering if it was possible for someone under investigation by the FBI for trading child porn over the internet to be charged by the state instead of the federal government? Also is it possible that child porn charges be reduced from a federal felony to a misdemeanor? If so, under what circumstances could this happen.

    Thanks

    This is somebody who has already been charged in federal court?

    It's possible for the charge to end up in state court, but if it is truly an FBI investigation it's much more likely to end up in federal court. It's very difficult to try to guess at what charges or plea bargains might involve.
