So husband has been charged with secual communication with a 12 year old (decoy) and inciting.
The DS contacted him today regarding sending him a letter I am assuming this will be his summons letter! How long is it normally between the letter date and first appearing in court. Solicitor and barrister want to do a lot of stuff before first court date and it seems the first appearance happens quite quickly.
He has character references, counsellor report, aspergers diagnosis report. But not sure if any of this will bloody help!
Is there any positive stories of outcomes from these sort of offences like no prison! Husband is willing to accept just about anything to avoid prison.
I am just so confused about next steps. Solicitor seems really positive with all the mitigating circumstances and previous husband had been sexually abused as a child which was never spoken about or really came out until a mental health asked him the question.
I can't cope if he goes to prison and neither will the kids! I am so scared!
