I have a close family member, who is literally my best friend and an incredible family member to my two young children.
They have been charged with grooming (online chat with an officer pretending to be 12 years old) and having indecent photos on his phone (these have come via a WhatsApp group chat which unfortunately and scarily a lot of people get) anyway, from evidence I've seen as I've attended court and solicitors etc with them I genuinely don't believe they have done this but they obviously feel there's enough to go to trial.
they have been advised to plead guilty to reduce any potential outcomes.
if they plead guilty I have two questions.
Can they have children of their own? Can they continue to still see my children? (My children adore them and would break my eldest if she couldn't see them).
Sorry so long winded but I didn't know what information to include etc and just can't switch off from my constant worry about them.



thank you
