What offence?
Notifications OFF
Lots of the communication offences on here are about an adult communicating with a child or an adult posing as a child, but does anyone know what offence is being committed if someone is communicating with another adult about a child?
Hey,
My person has been charged with this, he is charged with publishing an obscene article.
He was involved in sexual chat about a child.
seems so flippant to just come out and admit that!
Like " ooo I know! My person is accused of that"
like it's normal.
but that is what he is charged with.
take care xxx

Thanks for the reply, I did think obscene publication would be the most likely.
I get what you mean about the almost matter-of-factness with which we discuss such horrible things on here.

hope everything works out okay for you xx

This is now the most common scenario. Police decoy posing as a parent, offering their fictional child to men for sex.
The offence that they will be looking for is arranging and facilitating, which is where the man agrees to meet the child.
But if they cannot get enough evidence prove this, then they will go for the lesser offence of publishing an obscene article, which is a discussion only, with no agreement to meet up.

My person was having "fantasy chat" with another adult about a fictional "encounter" they had with a minor. (Horrible I know but these are the facts). They were arrested for sexual assault (as it's been proven it's not actually real they're now looking at whether there are charges of encouraging or incitement because of the conversation).
Unfortunately they have also apparently been sexting another adult who is either "pretending to be a teen" or may actually be a real teenager. Again awful but more proof that you never really know who you are talking to on the internet and what a dangerous place it can be as well as what horrible things people do when they think they're anonymous and it's "not real". Big sigh.

My OH was talking to an adult on both occasions and he was caught the first Time he was talking Someone in America about a child and the second time he was caught in a police sting discussing the child ! he was sent down for two years for the first defence. We're still waiting for him to have his devices searched for the second defence
That's is how my OH was caught. He was talking to a parent (police decoy) about children of a sexual nature. Charged with obscene publication. Now SS are making my life a misery
