Hi just thought I would create a post of those whose partners have been convicted of viewing images. Theres lots of lovely ladies out there who are going through similar situations and are still waiting but I would like to connect with those that have gone through the sentencing etc for viewing images.

Hi Rainbow,
My ex and father of my children was sentenced in January this year. He was under investigation from November 2017, charged and remanded in November 2018 so a long process for us!
He was given a custodial sentence of 18 months, but is due out at the end of this month.. 10 months in total! Not long enough if you ask me though!
Hope you're doing ok xx

Hi
Nice to hear from you (not for the right reasons I know) but it helps to know we are not going through this alone. X

Just bumping this up
Hi All
So glad this subject has been raised. As someone still in limbo (got the knock just under 7 months ago) I am really confused as to how the courts arrive at the sentences that are handed down. As my husband has told me absolutely nothing about what he did on line (says he can't remember) I really don't know what sort of sentence he is facing or what the rest of the family will have to cope with!
Sorry for the moan..........but everything is moving at a snail's pace and what lies at he end of it!

Hi all. I’m separated from my husband. The knock came in July 2018. He was convicted after pleading guilty to possession across all three categories with the bulk category C but numbers in the thousands. Sentencing will be on the 20th of this month. It’s been a very long and stressful 14 months.
Hi there. Sorry to hear you are in a similar situation. Unfortunately the waiting is awful and takes a long time. Although I'm over the waiting it's still not great having the conviction hanging over us. I do feel better than I used to but i still have low days where i just hate my life and what's happened. Unfortunately no one can say what what the sentence will be as it looks like different areas are different. My husband only had a handful of images that weren't even saved and cps didn't know which sites they were from yet he was still found guilty. I understand yes he did view them and it's wrong etc yet I cant get over the fact that the cps didn't have strong evidence. No evidence of searches or illegal sites. I'm just still struggling to come to terms with it. I guess on the plus side he got a community order but it's still changed our lives forever x
Hi Izzy, we are 4.5 years post knock so I feel your pain of limbo. It is the most difficult part as you cant plan anything. Everything seems to revolve around sentencing. I wish I could tell you what to expect but everywhere is different. Had we lived 30 miles away my husband wouldn't have got a custodial sentence, had the judge been different he probably wouldn't have got a custodial sentence. It depends on your area and judge. Our area had the guideline sentence from a fine to life in prison. Not exactly a small window. He recieved 9 months (6 for guilty plea, served 3 and was released on a 3 years and 3 months licence), life on the register and a fine. You can find out an estimate of the sentence from the helpline. Unfortunately if he wint tell you what he was looking at you wont know much. It's a long wait x
SallyBlue, how much was your husband's fine please? Do they calculate it based on income/savings? I hadn't thought about the possible need to save up for this..
Worried mum, his fine was £200 but this is where it gets confusing. As he was in prison he didnt have the funds to pay it. So instead of paying he got an extra week onto his sentence. I could have paid it to get him out a week earlier but I chose not to. I didnt have the extra cash, I could have scraped it together but I didnt.
