Pushing for a caution
Notifications OFF
This is like a 1% shot but I'm going to suggest to my partners solicitor that they ask the police to see if there's any possibility of a caution.... I've been reading that apparently cautions are not being used by the CPS but that solicitors can request this from the police and the CPS... So even though it won't happen... I absolutely have to request that my partner ask them...
Anyone have a case that ended in a caution? He was advised by the arresting officer that he would get a caution but obviously given the circumstances it looks that won't be the case...

Hi blackhound
My son recieved a caution within 3-4 months of reporting himself. We didn't have to ask .
I am led to believe cautions are rarely given .There are conditions for the caution on SOR 2 years , visits from police officers every 3 months and he has to give them names and adresses of family friends where he may be staying for any length of time .
hoping for the best possible outcome for your partner

We pushed for a caution but as Annexe A was passed (meaning it's an either way offence) and it needed to be heard in crown court, it wasn't applicable.
Your solicitor can still try but just be prepared in case it's pushed to court anyway.
Lee - my partner worked with Safer Lives up here in the NW, and they advised they have seen cautions for communication but only when that's the sole charge. Eg. No images or videos sent, no arrangement to meet and no incitement charges.

I think it's always worth pushing for whatever you can. I think there's a lot of people who don't feel that because of the nature of these offences that it's possible but it is (dependant on evidence/charges etc). Everyone should scrutinise the evidence and question things because (in my experience and other I've seen) the evidence is often questionable and they push their luck with charges!
Lee - I know, it's hard as the incitement and sharing of images.etc all kind of come together. Particularly as decoys let the conversations run on before approaching/arresting.
I suppose if the content is sexual and still discussing what they want to do.etc then it falls into the realm of sexual communication, without touching the other charges.
I think communication has hugely risen, but I still see SUCH a mix of sentences so it's so hard to tell what the outcome will be.

We dont know anything more yet other than three charges which sucks...
Im thinking it might be ABC and it making with most likely it being just possession making... No other communication offences or anything like that ... First offence ...
He had undiagnosed depression during the time it happened and we are hoping his Autism diagnosis comes through over the next month which should count as a mitigating circumstance...
He's done a lot of work on himself so we're hoping that counts...
We'll have to see what happens from here...

Pregnant and scared. Can you explain your point please. My husband arrested due to sending 2 photos and 2 gifs on a message. When asked to meet, he ignored that. He wanted a photo . They asked him to go on camera but he said no. How does this sit re your point of different categories.
