Got the knock beginning of Feb 2024 and appearing in magistrates court today. So sentencing will probably be in a month making my OH a very short timeline of 7 months.
I really think it depends on area.
My person was 23 months from arrest to caution. 23 very long months of delay after delay after delay.

Apologies all.. reading these replies has all scared me as they all specify sentencing, how many of your people have done prison time?
My partner is slim, barely 5'3 and would not last inside! Scares the life out of me, trying to be strong for the children
Case has now gone to CPS and just waiting

Please try not to worry yourself (easier said than done)
Each case is so different and no one other than the judge on the day can decide on the sentence
If it ends up being a custodial, everything x it doesn't, he will be ok, my son is doing ok they adjust I think better than we do, but we learn to live a new normal whatever the outcome x

Good morning Amethyst - I'm with Upset on this. When we were told my son faced a long custodial I was filled with terror and dread. He is a sensitive bloke, very nieave and not in the least bit streetwise. In a crowd or with strangers he'd crumble......l
But I'm so proud how he's coped, he's gathered strength along the way, had education classes and works very hard as a gardener. Tells me there's no intimidation and the staff are mostly supportive . He's only had me for telephone and financial support so done the rest by himself.
No doubt he's had hardships and got a mountain to climb on release but he has done it, he's surviving.

Hi, my partner got the knock January 2021. Finally went to sentencing in April 2024. He got suspended sentence, community service and the horizon course although that hadn't started yet. It was 3 and a half years of hell but we are out the other side, I stayed with him. Once sentencing was done and I knew there was no chance of media I could feel the anxiety slip away. I finally woke up in the mornings without that crippling fear of everything. Our life is pretty much back to normal apart from him doing community service once a week and seeing probation

Your post really resonates with me as I too woke up every morning with that crippling fear and dread of what was to come. My son received a 2 year suspended sentence with his story being in the media and across Facebook twice. All my worst fears came true. His marriage ended, he lost his job, his home and everyone that knew him, knew what he'd done. I couldn't see a future.
Fast forward 10 months later and my son's children spend weekends with us (my son now lives with us and we provide the supervised contact), he has a little job, it's nothing like he was doing prior to his sentencing but gets him out of the house and interacting with people a few times a week. He has recently joined a 5 a side football team and goes to the gym regularly.
Prior to his arrest my son was struggling with a secret addiction which he hated hated himself for. His self esteem was zero and his confidence was non existent. 10 months later his self esteem is better than it's ever been, he smiles and laughs and is an amazing Dad to his children.
We have no idea what the future will look like. I still wake up with anxiety but I've learned to live with that because today life is good and for me today is what matters.

@conflicted Mum, yes my partner also got SOR and SHPO 10 years for both. The SHPO is internet based as he was charged with possession of iioc. He's very very " lucky" if that's the right word. Before sentencing ( which was cancelled about 4 or 5 times) I really thought he would get custodial. I will say writing a character reference from me and he wrote a letter to the judge made a huge difference. The judge mentioned them a few times. I also think if anyone can face it and are still with their partner they should go into the court room. The judge didn't actually go into a lot of detail and ways actually pretty annoyed with the prosecution as to how long it took to get to court but actually it was down to the courts!! The going into the court was the scariest thing I've ever done but the judge acknowledged my presence and also commented that I was also a victim too. I cried the whole time in there!
Thank you Louise
I have written my letter. My son is going to write his own too.
