So my person was in today for guilty plea - obscene publications section 2
beforehand I was so worried about the media that I requested his solicitor take my statement and ask for no media, so he said he'd take it on the day.
the judge agreed and he had his surname and address not read out.
I don't know if it's because of my recent health diagnosis of a brain tumour or whether I have 2 young children 1 who is autistic or perhaps because his charge is very low he didn't say anything graphic other than stupidly a age but the judge agreed!
so just wanted to let you know there is a possibility it can be done! Fortunately the clerk assured there is no media present here today.
My person was annoyingly adjourned till next month for sentencing as they need a probation report because there's no sentencing guidelines for this charge because it's hardly ever used. Frustrating
but my point of this post is, reporting restrictions or redacted names addresses etc can happen!
