Case study summary

Our client was arrested for sharing Category A indecent material from his home address. He instructed our specialist indecent images solicitors and we represented him. After putting the police to proof, they failed and decided to take no further action against him.

Case study

Our client was horrified when he was arrested at work for sharing the highest category of indecent material from devices at his home address. He instructed our specialist solicitors and we represented him in interview.

We spoke to the police at length about the evidence proving that our client was the person responsible for sharing the alleged material. The evidence was weak and circumstantial.

Our client exercised his right to silence throughout his interview. Afterwards, we continuously chased the police for updates on their forensic analysis. They later concluded that they could not prove our client was the person responsible. They took no further action against him and returned his electronic devices.

Our client was overjoyed with the result. He was able to return to his marriage and job as a restuarant chef without this burden hanging over him.
