For reference my OH had the knock in last May. He had downloaded a lot of porn from an unreliable site but one was inappropriate content with children which he promptly deleted, but was flagged up with the police which resulted in the knock.

On Tuesday he was called to the police station "at his earliest convenience". He thought it was all over but it wasn't good news. They said they had found images in his trash bin and one they described to him was of 'Lisa Simpson in a compromising position' and there were images from graphic novels (also in the trash bin). There was no mention of the image that started all this. It is now going to court but the police don't think he will get a custodial sentence (which we are holding on to). How long will it be before it goes to court?

I have updated work as I work in a school but not pupil facing and now they are going to do a risk assessment on me.

This seems to have been a second interview?



the police will now pass on the case to the cps who will decide on the charges.



the charges will come with a court date on them.



for my oh it was 6 months from second interview to charges and a further 6 weeks until court.



this timeline varies a lot though.
