So we had plea hearing on Monday and the lawyer has suggested we get an expert report done on the cyber report as she believes the police can't prove my oh searched for the images he says they came up in a pop up and he clicked by mistake, has anyone any experience on these reports, I am totally feeling overwhelmed right now with everything

Inturmoil,

I'm afraid I don't but if your solicitor has suggested it I would go for it. Expert witnesses can be extremely important to cases and the judge/jury will rely on facts as opposed to suggestions. Has he pleaded not guilty?

Hi my partner was advised to do this and after going to magistrates with a not guilty plea, then crown court with a not guilty plea. He did the cyber forensic expert check and he had an NFA. No further action. So definitely do it.

They decided on a no plea to allow the report to be done

Inturmoil,

Hopefully the report is enough to show it wasn't intentional and this can be resolved. Good luck! Keep us updated x
