Family and Friends Forum

Basically my Friend whose 18 has been arrested for the possesion and distribution of indecent images. He was taken to the police station and was interviewed. He told me that he is aware that he had been in possession and had distributed images on a chat forum when he was 17 but he stopped after he realised what he was doing was wrong. he is unaware of quantities but is terrified that one he has destroyed his future before it has started. two that his family are going to be targeted via the news and three that he will get put in prison and something will happen. I want to help but im not sure about what will happen. He made a stupid mistake and is working through the modules on here and has rung the helpline and really wants to adress the issue but he is scared about what comes next such as with the media and court etc. Any help from previous experiances would be appreciated.

many Thanks
