Sentences and work
Notifications OFF
Hi all, nowhere near court yet as only 1 month since the knock - however I am starting to try and think about the future.
just wondering what sort of sentences people have been given for communication / distribution? I realise it's all individual to the case but I'm clueless.
Also has anyone given a non-custodial sentence managed to find work after sentencing? Wondering if my person is going to be able to contribute financially going forward.

My husband was 5 images he was sacked from his job got a new job 3 weeks later factory work now is a higher position and really likes the job it is 30 mins drive away but he preferred it that way
My person was communicating with a decoy.
At the moment probation have decided not to tell his work - he's nowhere near the public/ vulnerable people. And the court ordered no reporting / press do there's no reason he'll lose his job.
His employer also states in their offer letter / contract that they do employ people with criminal records but I suspect if they found out, rather than him voluntarily disclosing it, they'd be mightily pissed off.
Conversely however, there's no way he'd disclose it voluntarily so it'll always be hanging over him.
In addition he's on the register for 10 years with a 10 year SHPO targeted at communication risk, which involves monitoring software on all devices except work laptop, not allowed to share / borrow devices (eg look something up on my phone), and just found out he has to get rid of all games consoles in the next 21 days as they can't install monitoring software on those. He's a gamer so this is a big shock for him but I've pointed out this repulsive behavior comes with consequences! Evidence is that less time online is good so I consider it fair enough.

If they do a job that doesn't require a DBS then they should be fine work wise for the future because they don't always ask for conviction history all the time. It depends on the company. A lot of companies try to give second chances to convicted people as they know you're less likely to offend again in any crime if you have work.
Thank you so much for all the advice - I really appreciate it!
