Hi I'm new to this and I know every case is different but what sentance did your partners get for category C and B, no distribution.



Thanks

Hi Ghost...

I agree with everything lee has stated... However I just want to add some caution... The CPS guidelines clearly state that the starting point for a class B image is 6 months to 18 months in prison. This could be suspended and normally is if the amount is small in number. Also any images classed as moving... are dealt with more seriously.

A class B image is comparable to A image accept their is no penetrative acts.

Finally community orders can also be given instead of a prison sentence... All are discloseable if asked for by employers and will show up on any criminal record check.



Best wishes

Hi, sorry that you are in this situation but glad you have found the forum.

Everywhere is different. Each region has it's own recommended sentence and even that varies from what judge is there on the day. My husband had 2000 images throughout categories and received 6 months in prison, serving 3 months, a fine, 3 years community payback and indefinite registration.

My partner is currently doing 10 months for breaching his orders although he stopped the conversation as soon as he was told the age and it wasn't sexual it still breached his orders he was given a suspended sentence last year for talking sexually to what he believed was an underage girl the judge said that although he stopped the conversation it was class b2 deliberate breach he could of been given anything up to 3 years for
