My oh is under investigation for iioc and sexual communications. He's bailed until September but worried that other things will be added

For example inciting or causing a child to engage in sexual activity. What actually does this cover ? For example does sending a nude photo of herself or touching her boobs come into this ? I've looked online and can't find much information and am worried about it as this would mean certain custodial I think.

I believe that the incite charge is added to a communication charge if the offender asks/encourages or even agrees to the child taking part in some type of sexual activity.
Whilst the sentence for this will often fall into the custodial category, the judge can decide to give a suspended sentence if the sentence is 2 years or under.
I hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just wondering what actually they classify as sexual activity ? It seems a very broad term.

Thanks for that. From what you say I imagine most sexual communication charges also include the inciting charge. I just can't imagine a sexual conversation not including asking the girl to do something.



From what I understand the girl was 15 and she did send him a naked picture which he asked for.

I'm not sure that a naked picture would be classed as a sexual act. Also the fact that the person was 13 or over should result in a more lenient sentence. The sentences for children aged 12 or under are much more severe.

It's just so worrying, the not knowing. He says he can't remember exactly what he said in the message's but that he didn't ask her to masterbate but may have asked her to touch her boobs. I guess that will be inciting.
