Hello Sam,
Thank you for posting on the Family and Friends forum, we understand that it is not easy to post on a forum about these difficult situations. I can see that you have not yet had a reply on you post, hopefully you will do soon. Unfortunately, we cannot say what sentence you friend may be likely to get but If you have a read through some of the topics, others have asked similar questions. You may find your answer in there. You can even type key words into the search bar in the top right to try and find topics that may provide you with an answer.
Furthermore, you may find it helpful to access this section of the Stop It Now! Website which explores the criminal justice process further https://www.stopitnow.org.uk/concerned-about-your-own-thoughts-or-behaviour/concerned-about-use-of-the-internet/get-the-facts/consequences/involvement-with-the-criminal-justice-system-cjs/. As highlighted in this section there are several outcomes, these exclude a NFA (no further action), caution, community order, suspended sentence or custodial sentence. There are lots of factors which can influence the outcome including quantity of images, severity of images, previous convictions etc.
I would like to suggest that, with your friends sentencing coming up, you take some time to look after yourself. This could be simple self-care activities such as going on a walk alone or engaging in a hobby you enjoy. It is important that you take care of yourself at this difficult time. I would also encourage you and your friend to reach out to us on our Stop It Now! helpline (0808 1000 900) for further support and guidance if you would like to.
I hope this has been helpful.
Take care,
Lucy
