hi all, new to this forum & would like some answers from others with similar cases? Thank you.

OH arrested and released under investigation, can anyone confirm wether the police can recover permanently deleted artifiacts (photos,videos) from an relatively new iPhone & if there any defences available if they can, has anyone & there OH received a NFA?



OH claims he was downloading music/videos online & had come across iioc in the download which he then deleted, will forensics be able to show this ?



Thanks!

Hi Hurt&Sad,

I'm really sorry you find yourself here. I'm only a few weeks down the line from The Knock as well so I'm afraid I don't have experience of NFA or sentencing, however from my understanding police forensics can recover deleted items from devices. From research they have special data recovery tools that can find deleted content. Unfortunately this stage is a bit of a waiting game until forensics come back which I've told can take between 8 - 12 months.

These early few weeks will be a tough rollercoaster of emotions. Be kind to yourself and reach out to the forum. There are some incredible people on here who have been through it all and lend a guiding hand. Also look through the thread's for Lee 2.0's podcast - you may find it useful in feeling less alone as this road can be an isolating one.

Be kind to yourself and take care x

Hi,

sorry you find yourself here. My husband has been charged with extreme porn and they found it in deleted files. The forensic report stated that they found it so far deleted that my husband would need specialist tools to access this again. We are two years since the Knock. They are lost of supportive people on here who have a wealth of knowledge. Take care of yourself xx
