Hi all,
Quick recap, my house was raided by the police in November 2020 and my devices seized, but I was not arrested or interviewed and had very limited contact with the police.
Finally, this week I had an email from the new DCI in charge of my case, who has informed me all my devices have been now examined, she is writing a repot, and that I will be called in for an interview under caution first week of November.
I have a solicitor who specialises in sexual offences who will be accompanying me.
The police are likely to recover several hundred Category C and B CSA materials.
I intend to plead guilty at the earliest opportunity.
I have undertaken about 175 hours of therapy since the raid, focused around my offending behaviour.
I will be meeting with my solicitor to go over things before the interview, but I wondered if any members had any advice of what to expect? I have never even been in a police station before, let alone been interviewed.

+xFrom experience I would say two things: - Police interviews are generally phishing expeditions. They always like to catch people out and incriminate themselves. - Listen to your brief. Really important. Make sure to have something to eat and drink as well. As they rely on people being tired of admitting to stuff. I think some officers enjoy the power they have in these situations.
Hi Dean,
Listen to your brief.
As I mentioned earlier, my brief just said he was there to protect my human rights not anything else. the only time he got interested is when I said about "blackmail" but didn't do anything about it.
