Sentencing procedure
Notifications OFF
My ex partner is supposed to be in crown court next week for sentencing. He went to magistrates court 4 weeks ago, pleaded guilty and on the day the judge gave him a date for crown court and sentencing. charges are iioc- all 3 categories.
He has a solicitor who has advised him that they have asked for sentencing to be adjourned as they wanted the PSR to include a psycho evaluation and so are arranging for the PSR to be done externally rather than through CPS.
He hasn't been contacted by anyone other than his solicitor and still hasn't had the PSR yet.
Although we are separated, he has been honest with me since, but he doesn't appear to know what is going on! Solicitor supposedly specialises in these offences, but doesn't appear to know what the process is.
Solicitor has told him today that they may have to go to sentencing next week and ask for the adjournment in person.
Is this what really happens? Or will he just get sentenced. What's the likelihood of this going ahead without a PSR.
I'm not sure they have even had a copy of the SHPO yet either.

I can sense the anxiety in your post so wanted to reply even though I'm not going to be of any help. My person wasn't shown his SHPO by his solicitor until just before he was called into court. He did have a PSR though and that was done a few days before he attended court. I wouldn't think they would be able to sentence without it but can't be sure.
I wish you and your person all the best.

My sons case was adjourned because his PSR hadn't been done in time. So I guess there's a chance it won't go ahead x
We have now been too court 11 times and been constant adjourned a few times we managed to be excused due to oh being at work
I have been through this in the last month. He should have a PSR before sentencing and his solicitors should also be gathering references too. He needs both of those before sentencing. My Ex had the same charges and got a suspended sentence. Although the SHPO he saw before sentencing turned out to be different. Will think of you this week. Its really stressful but afterwards there is some sense of relief x
Thank you for your responses.
Anxious mummy, can I ask was it iioc 3 all 3 categories? We are talking a really large number, and over a period of 8 years.
I guess this will obviously go against him.

Gosh Inturmoil! This must have been so stressful. I know I just want closure now. It's been going on for the best part of 2 years!
