To all the lovely ladies out there please stay positive there is light at the end of the tunnel . Might not seem like that atm but i promise there is . I thought my whole life was gone but here I am still standing . My husband was arrested with 11 images in total all of which were put into a group chat he was in .

2.5 years later he attempted suicide but luckily my daughter found him and brought him home .
He attended magistrates court pleaded guilty no media that was the first hurdle then back to magistrates for sentencing no media second hurdle out the way .

He received community order 150 hours unpaid work , fine ,50 rad days and 5 years sor .
He is currently out now doing unpaid work , I know it's going to be hanging over us for 5 years but our life is still going on he still has his job and only a handful of people know about it .



please stay strong ladies as it's not always as bad as it seems xx

That sounds like a great outcome, similar to ours and similar number of images. I'm glad you are feeling positive and moving forwards.

Sadly my husband lost his job but he found another within 3 weeks which is less well paid but more flexible and better for his mental health, so there are upsides :)

Did you manage to avoid a SHPO too?

Molly Dog that's exactly what I needed to hear this morning, thank you. I'm so sorry your OH came so close to ending his life, we all feel like our lives are over going through something like this and my heart goes out to those men who do leave this world too early because of charges looming over them (of which there are many) - I wish you all the love for your future together Xxx

Hi Molly Dog

Thank you for posting, legal stage has now finished but trying to pick up all the pieces and move on which is extremely hard.

I hope one day I can see that light at the end of the tunnel but your post shows it's possible. Xxx
