My husband was arrested July 2022 for indecent images on KIK and has been released under investigation since August 2022.

The police has had his phones and forensic report back since August/September 2023.

My husband received an email from his solicitor today that the police still hadn't time to look at his report and that it was still in a queue.

Is this normal?

From what I read on here most people wait a long time, but once police have the forensic report that things move swiftly.

We're in the West Midlands, if that makes any difference.

Im also West Midlands and it took from arrest in August 21 until April 23 for devices to be checked, followed by sentencing in July 23. Hopefully you haven't got too much longer to go because the waiting is awful. The only kind of positive was that when sentencing happened, the judge did take into consideration the time already waited for devices and reduced sentence by 6 months xx

We're also midlands area... my husband also arrested July 22 for being on kik, Rui on Oct. His devices still not even checked yet, we got told last aug 500 days as it's been outsourced. Had a text the other day from oic to say devices still not checked!

the waiting is the hardest part I just want it all over now.

Confusedwife, I am amazed that your oic gets in touch with you.

My husband's solicitor contacts the police every 3 months otherwise we wouldn't hear from them.
