What happens when police find no evidence of chat in mobile or laptop after forensic analysis regard to online communication with a child? No child.involved and it was a decoy from.peadophile hunter group.
It was tip off from Vigilantee group where they gave chat print outs to police ( not sure what else they gave. Any idea?)


Will they charge or go with NFA



How long forensic analysis of mobile required in Derby?

They could still charge, they may have the chat logs from the child's device, or the police if it was decoy.

If there is no evidence found on the phone or other devices, the police can still use evidence gained from their interview at the time of the arrest and from statements made by the child or decoy on the end of the chat.

I've just messaged you back. On arrest my husband was presented with all printed chat log history from the police decoy. They couldn't find any of this on his phone though which is usual when using KIK app apparently x

Evidence from the decoy could be used as the basis for a charge, it would just depend on whether the CPS believe that alone is sufficient for the case to result in conviction if nothing has been found on the seized devices.

Thanks

Can police take decoy device and do forensic analysis as I believe that will solve the problem if nothing is found in my husband device or mobile phone.

Not sure why police don't take vigilante group phone when the decoy from vifilabtee group have chatted with the suspect.

Atleast we know how the entrapment happened?
