Family and Friends Forum

Hi everyone,[/b]

I’ve been reading through this forum for quite a while now, and I finally feel the need to reach out for some support and clarity. I’m really struggling to understand what’s happening and would appreciate any advice from those who’ve been through something similar.

Here’s a brief summary of the situation:
My husband was arrested back in 2021. The police came to our home, seized all of his devices, and took him into custody. He spent the day in a holding cell, was interviewed after indecent images were found on his phone, and then released on bail.

A few months later, the police attempted to extend his bail, but the court refused. Around that time, social services visited to check on the wellbeing of our children. They were satisfied with everything, and they haven’t returned since (they only came once).

Since then, my husband has not been living with me. He’s only allowed to see the children under supervision—either with myself and my brother present. This has been our situation for the past four years.

Now, out of the blue, my husband called me to say that a plain-clothed officer visited his flat and invited him in for a voluntary interview, which is scheduled for this Thursday.

I’m left with so many questions. Why has it taken the police this long to follow up? Why are they inviting him for another interview after so many years of silence? Previous officers on the case have left the force, and the case was even passed to a different police station.
If this was serious, wouldn’t he still be under bail conditions?

I’m feeling incredibly confused and overwhelmed. Any insights or advice would be truly appreciated.

Thank you for reading.
