20 months and done.

Magistrates sentencing done.
The wait is over.
2 year community order which includes rehab days, 3 months alcohol abstinence, 200 hours of unpaid work reduced to 150 for early guilty plea and a ridiculous 5 year stretch on the sex offenders register. Only due to sentencing guidelines is it 5 years so it's no fault of the magistrates as they were just following guidelines.
No mention of a SHPO... He also got two small fines.
We were the first case heard which was great. Good presentence report other than one thing I didn't and neither did the solicitor agree with; a custodial sentence does apply here. The solicitor did say in his case that he doesn't agree with that part.
Mentioned all of the work he'd done already. Mentioned other cases that are often hundreds and thousands. Took about 30 minuets in court and 20 minuets before reading and discussing the pre sentence report with the solicitor.
We can get on with our lives now... Just trying to decompress and digest now.

Pleased this part is all over for you both. We are just near ending the community order those 2 years went really quickly for us. So hopefully before you know it, this part will be done.

Blackhound, I guess this is good news in that it could have been a lot worse. Glad to hear that stage is now behind you and hope every goes smoothly from now on.
Hi,
Blackhound can I ask what the work was that was done before court and what charges were? fairly new here and still finding my way arond the forums.
Anne 20 - where charges roughly the same as for Blackhound?
Sorry to ask but the waiting is horrendous, we are 7 months in and nothing yet happening.

just looking for advice on what can be done before any charges might be made. addressing issues with alcohol and having counselling for childhood trauma and past addictions which is helping depression and dark moods immensely. wish we'd found counselling sooner xx

As one door closes on this journey a new journey begins and I wish you both all the very best and happiness will shine back down on you both
Deep breath you survived xx

Please don't worry about asking anything this is the only place you can.
My hub was for possession of 3 Cat C. He had a 2 year community order,with 40 days of work, which he already done most on the LFF course unpaid hours, a court fee, and 5 years on the SOR no SHPO.
Both done in magistrate pre sentence and sentence.
He also still finding courses for himself to do which has gone down really well with probation and Visor team.

Time to move onto the next step for you guys. I'm glad it went well - here's to your future xxx
Anne20, thank you for the"hug", much needed and welcome.
We're doing character references, letter from him saying sorry,vhow he's doing since the Knock and what he's doing. Not 100% sure whats been going on except maybe communication with minors, now disgusted with himself and says he has no future, dreading next steps :(

Pleased sentencing is over for you Blackhound and you can look forward.
couple of q's if you don't mind?
I assumed all these crimes came with SHPO ?
what does a community order entail?
sleep well x
