Hi All,

Seen couple of messages on the forum where independent forensic examination of devices was done by cyber experts.

At what stage of the process is that possible. Our devices are still with the Police and there is radio silence from Police .

I think it's usually after you've had the initial forensic report from the police. I'd love to know how much this all costs. Can't find information on it anywhere.

We were in a unique case as the knock on the Thursday charged on the Friday and was at solicitor following week so managed to get wheels in motion quickly for our own cyber expert, charges are all very basic no circumstance where the cyber report showed there was no proof of any search, it also proved the pics had been deleted immediately, proved the site had never been revisited and also the pics were only retrievable by an expert, sadly regardless the pics were on the phone at some point, oh was still found guilty of possession of the 5 images sentence was community payback, 1 year supervision and 1 year on register, the standout for me gave me peace of mind and my family also the proof that all my oh had said was true.
