My partner got arrested Monday for suspicion of possessions of indecent images of Children. Like a lot of people I've seen on here he can't explain why he's done it. he got assaulted when he was 12 by a man yet his actions haven't been towards a male non of this makes sense. We have children together ment to be getting married won custody of my step son now this my whole life is destroyed how am I ment to get over this.

Hi,

I'm sorry that you find yourself here. Without an assessment by a phycologist its almost impossible to determine what the motivation for your partners action was.
There is research suggesting that offenders with an attraction form a minority of those arrested. Something that I have read regarding risk assessments indicated that offenders with images of boys posed a greater risk than those who were in possession of images solely of girls. I understand that this will be difficult to process but I wanted to be honest with you as it's likely that social services will be in touch soon.
You've done well to reach out so soon. If you have any questions there are lots of supportive and knowledgeable people on here. Sending love and strength xxx
