Can I ask people who have been in similar position?



The knock happened early 2025 and still awaiting forensics for Allegedly uploading Cat A/B/C videos of children to the internet. 15 in total.



what were peoples outcomes. I'm so scared for the future of my children if this ever gets out.

I've been where you are and completely understand where you're coming from, but at this stage you just have to wait for forensics. NFAs happen if they find nothing. If images are present, deleted or not, they will almost certainly be charged. My ex has just been charged for 14 images spanning all three categories (so three charges). They were deleted & all from a single file & date and he claims - truthfully or not ???? - not to have wanted them & to have got rid of them straight away. But he can't prove that & he's been quoted 35k for a not guilty plea, so here we are. I'm disgusted with him and even I think the three charges are somewhat harsh, given he had one deleted cat A and one deleted cat B, but there we go.

I would also say - and I hope this isn't the case for you - to be prepared for the all process to bring other things to light, legal or illegal. In my case the plods found that he'd been filming me secretly - I could have pressed charges for voyeurism but chose not to. And there was an awful lot of online & offline cheating, sex chat etc. This will be controversial on here, but the men who get pulled in have been in very grim places online, even if they do manage to get out with an NFA.

Re publicity. In our area very few IIOC cases get publicity now. They're ten a penny depressingly enough. So that isn't a given. I have kids too & absolutely understand the worry.
