Charges within a day from the knock
Notifications OFF
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a situation when OH has been charged very quickly after the original arrest? We had the knock on Friday, charged the same day and court appearance on Saturday.
I cut all contact, so don't have much details, but it seems very quick? What about the forensics? Are they going to add more charges later if they discover anything? Seems very quick to me. I'm still in shock and can't grasp what's happening.

That does seem incredibly quick, do you know what they've actually charged him with? Sending love and thoughts your way xx
My partner was charged the day after the knock and was remanded in custody. It was a communication offence xxx
Are you based in Scotland? This seems to be more common north of the border.
No, England. I don't know what he's been charged with exactly. They told me IIOC, downloading and distribution. He also discussed my children on some forum. That's all I know and it's already more than I can handle.
It's so hard to be here for my girls, when I struggle so much myself.
It's his 3rd offense. First one was historical and didn't come out until we were married and had children. He lied to me when we met. I stood by him. I supported him also the 2nd time - when he was in prison for fraud. I told him then that it is the last time I'm in court because of him. Now I feel like such a fool. My poor poor children. I dragged them to prison to meet him there. Both had birthdays in prison. I almost starved. Now I'm alone again. No money. Might end up homeless. No friends or family. Only the helpline to keep me going. And promises from CAB that someone will call me.
The last time I ever saw him - being escorted out of our house under arrest - he was adamant he didn't do anything wrong and told me 'Love you, honey' when going out the door How can someone be so cruel and callous?
I'm not going to the court. I blocked his ability to call, email or write us a letter. I'm putting my children first and they don't deserve this.
None of us do.

I am so sorry. Please do make use of all the resources you can, you're completely right to be prioritising your children. And of course reach out on this forum when you need to, we are all here for you.
I'm not sure why he would have been charged so quickly in that case, it may be that he is high risk because of his previous conviction and they have chosen to charge and remand on the basis of what evidence they already have but will send the phone off for a more thorough forensic check as well.

I think it might be because he's high suicide risk and I made it absolutely clear to them not to let him out on the streets on his own.
This forum is a blessing.
I'm so tired of explaining the same thing to all the social workers, community connectors, GPS and councillors. I tried calling the helpline time and time again, but most days can't get through. Samaritans are even.more difficult to reach.
It feels very lonely on planet knock.

My OH was arrested Tuesday, charged Wednesday and was in court thursday. Its because they found images on his phone. They said they had the right to charge him further if they found anything on another device which they didnt. Was held on remand as suicide risk and sentenced three weeks later. So it does happen, though there seems very few cases on here.
Thank you for your reply. I think we are in the same situation as you. Really sorry you have to deal with it, but a blessing that it has been quick.
It's horrible shock, but at least me and my girls can possibly start rebuilding our lives rather than be in this horrible limbo.

Hi, if he was remanded and pleaded guilty straightaway it might happen this quickly. It was this quick With my now ex's first case but that was 7 years ago. The second case, he wasn't remanded and we're still waiting 3 years on. Both time he pleaded guilty straight away. X
We are scotland, we had the knock on the Thursday charged on the Friday it was 5 images
