Hi Tallulah
There are so many variables at play with the offences and sentencing that there really is no easy answer.
I'm sure that there are some ladies on here with people who have gone to prison for less, and who have got a suspended for much more!
The best thing to do would be to discuss this with his solicitor, look into all mitigating circumstances, character references etc. Is he pleading guilty? An early guilty plea can mean a reduced sentence.
Just be assured that 'making' simply means that the images were downloaded onto his device - it doesn't mean he made them himself
Fingers crossed you won't have too long to wait for an outcome

Hi, there could be so many outcomes but I wanted to let you know ours.
My person had around 250 (I think) of images, many moving too. Unfortunatly the agrivating factors were serious, including the ages of those in the images. All something that will be considered when sentencing.
When it came to mitigating circumstances we got this all in order and simply three character references.
On the day we were told it would be good if he received a suspended sentence and the barrister worked towards this. The prosecution read all the details in court, which was awful. Again recited when the judge confirmed the sentence! All I could see was the reporter writing every word! I have never read the news article, while I know it's there I felt there was no need to.
We left the court with a 24 month community order, 250 hours of community pay back, 26 rehabilitation sessions lasting around 2 and 1/2 each. On the sex offenders register for 5 years and a SHPO for 5 years.
Good luck xx
