Reliability of kik??
Notifications OFF
Hi
I've noticed there are a few of us now who's partners have been arrested due to intelligence provided from the kik app and from what I see, the partners seem to be maintaining they know nothing of seeing indecent images on there. Leaves me wondering how reliable kik is as a data source? Does anybody have any experience of cases with kik, where the result was either NFA as nothing found on devises or whether there was actually evidence found and a charge brought? X

Unfortunately I can't share with you a story of how things worked out but I'm glad you've created a KIK post. My partner was recently arrested for uploading/sharing a cat C. He denies this but did say he has seen a video that had been on there but he didn't open or share it then stopped using it. This was last weekend and apparently we have a 6week wait whilst they check his phone.
I didn't really know anything about KIK but as soon as I typed it in on Google search it was full of child sexual arrest stories!! What is your story?-if you're happy to share it?

Hi.
Another Kik arrest here. 1 cat c image.
My husband is still at the under investigation stage but sadly in this case the police intelligence was correct and rhey will find evidence of illegal indecent images :(

Hi WorriedMum,
I'm so sorry you're going through this. The not knowing for me is hard but it must be hard knowing they'll find something. I hope you have a good network of support!! Do you know what's going to happen next for your husband. Do you have children? Xx

Hi sadandworried.
Yes, we have a young child and it's really hard knowing the truth, I think I know everything but who knows what else will come out :( children's services are involved and we are living separately.
My husband hasn't admitted guilt to the police yet. What happens next is all devices (30 of them going back years , we don't throw out old tech!) will be forensically examined. Then he'll be invited back for an interview and charged . That's all I know...think it's then magistrates and then crown court but not sure of time scales. We were told it would be AT LEAST six months from arrest to devices being examined.

SoConfused,
Omg that's so frustrating! Why do they bother giving a time scale, like you said from what I've read on here it's always so months longer! This week has been the most emotional and exhausting week of my life! I wonder if they give a little lee-way for cases where the child was very late teen,, maybe they should or I duno at least consider the person's reaction to the arrest.

How long has your husband been under investigation?
30 devices! :(
What sort of legal advice have you been given, my husband was an idiot so didn't wait for legal aid to sit with him for his first interview as he wanted to get home. Unfortunately it seems talking and telling the truth isn't the best option.
My husband is still living with me and our 2 children 9yr G and 2yr B. I don't believe he is any risk to them and they but especially my daughter would be distraught! I want to beleive him and will stick by him as long as he's told me the truth. Xx

Oh god! The thought of him to b3i g allowed any contact at all with our children terrifies me! It must be so hard for you being in the middle with your children sad to one side then watching your partner sad to the other side. Xx
Hi
We are also kik "victims". My partner also denies all knowledge of IIOC and the officer told us that the 1 image (cat B) which was flagged to our IP address was a teen. They didn't find anything on the devices when they searched them in the house so we are now also just waiting an outcome.
In terms of age a child is a child, but guilt in a court relies on intent, and if your partner looked at an image which he thought was an adult, and its plausible that the person in the image could have been an adult then the police/CPS will have to prove intent. This involves looking at search history, terminology used etc. That's how I understand it anyway.

Hi
my story does not involve Kik but I have a friend who was using Kik for group chats she said that she has been informed they are closing Kik down before the end of 2019 maybe this shows how dangerous that site is ???

My ex was arrested for images and chats on kik too. It was from last year I think, He admitted it all straight away though. I’d never even heard of the app before this, I’ve seen many posts mentioning it though.
Worried mum;
i was told by police it was one category D image, but my the police will most likely find more and worse as my ex started to tell me what he had been doing before I told him I couldn’t bear to hear it ( I felt physically sick)
So sorry for all you ladies going through this. It’s an absolute nightmare. I feel so full of disgust today it’s untrue.
