*Trigger Warning – Descriptive Sexual Abuse*



Hi everyone
I'm so conflicted as to what to do.
My husband got the knock and is currently out on bail for possession of indecent images of children.

We have a baby together and I want to make sure they are safe, but my husband swears he would never touch them or any other kid in real life. And that watching that content was a result of porn addiction.

He says he's viewed around a hundred images and videos of real children, penetrative, non penetrative, between children, children and adults and one with a 12 year old and a dog over a couple of months.

The poor children he watched were of all ages, babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers etc up to 16 years old, he even watched a category A video of an infant.

As well as thousands of images and videos of fictional children (loli hentai) for years.

He's also watched loli again while out in bail. He said to me that the impulse was too strong.


I don't what to do or what to believe. He's been a really good father to our baby.

I am also wondering what he could realistically expect in terms of sentencing? He is a first time offender.

Thank you for your help

My partner was very similar. All categories, all age ranges, animal abuse images and videos too. He has two children from another relationship.

As mentioned already he needs to get support asap, this won't be handed to him while on bail- he will need to seek it himself. There is a course run by Lucy faithful called inform plus that my partner really benefited from. He also joined sex addicts anonymous and would call the Lucy faithful helpline.

Since your partner viewed iioc of ages of your child this will be a big red flag to the authorities. Not to say he would offended against your child, but as you can image it is a concern. This is an issue my partner is having as he is not allowed any access to his children at the moment and is currently going through family courts to get supervised contact (this is because his ex doesn't want anything to do with him).

Not all offenders are the same and there will be many complexities, your partner will benefit from rehabilitation if he really engages and he can identify the reasons why, his risk and how to move forward.

From the knock to sentencing it could take between a year or two, sometimes more....also if this is recent I assume checks in devices are not yet complete- more might be found. Therefore it is too soon really to suggest what the outcome will be.
