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.

Hi
I wish you luck but be prepared for them to push to find off you what they haven't found themselves.
I was completely 100% honest and informed them of things they didn't know that were mitigating for me. They maneuverer their case around those points and actually found reasons why they didn't follow up on certain points: blackmail emails.

Best discuss all your points with your solicitor before you speak to the Police. saying that my solicitor didn't follow up on mitigation points lol

In the end I felt better being open as it help me personally; though not my punishment.



Society suggests I must let go of all my expectations but I disagree, as whilst I have a voice, I have hope.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope is for tomorrow else what is left if you remove a mans hope.
