Hi Jess

7 months ago my husband was arrested for the same offence - devices seized. His was a 3 day convo he doesn't even recall and is maintaining he didn't know the age of the person. We still don't know if it was a decoy. He too had been having conversations with adults for some time, following a bout of extreme ill health/anxiety and depression of which I was unaware.

He says he didn't send photos except one of his face, didn't ask for any photos and didn't make any arrangements to meet etc. (he saw the transcript of the conversation when arrested).

I choose to trust he is being honest but this has shaken our family to the core.

We are fortunate that our children are adults however SS were involved regarding the grandkids - he's not allowed any access - not even supervised. We could challenge this but don't wish to rock the boat.

I can't give you any advice with SS or outcomes/ sentencing, but wanted to reach out to you as you story is so similar to mine

Feel free to message me anytime even if it's just to have a rant xx

Same offence nearly 5 years ago, he has just been sentenced.
Im so sorry you find yourself here do prepare for the worst communication with a 13 year old will most likely be a prison sentence though it may be suspended.
My persons got two years suspended, course, community service and fine.
