3 weeks ago my son was arrested for messaging and meeting a minor who actually turned out to be undercover police. He currently on bail. They've seized his devices, I assume they will find indecent images too. Is anyone situation similar?
was wondering what the sentance will be. We are all totally devastated

Trying to keep it together

Hi Devastated,

Well done for posting and reaching out, everyone here is in a similar boat and we are all trying to get to grips with what has occurred with our partners/children/grandchildren etc.

With regards to your specific question, as I'm now 13 months in and no charges for partner yet I cant answer but what I can tell you is that there are 100's of factors that affect sentences and ot will be based around conversations that took place to that lead up of meeting, his interviews with police d and also the results of device search. I would really recommend calling the help line as they may have a better idea but I would caution you from putting too much emphasis on any outcome at this early stage



Keep posting and reach out with questions.
