Goole Indecent Images Solicitors

Our Goole Indecent Images solicitors can provide assistance if you have been accused of, or arrested for possessing, downloading, or distributing indecent images.

The courts grade these images based on the following criteria:

• Category A: These are the most severe as they involve penetrative sexual activity.

• Category B: These involve explicit material that is non-penetrative sexual assault.

• Category C: These include explicit material involving erotic posing.

The possession of indecent images means that an individual must be in control or custody of the images so they can access them. Additionally, the individual must know that they possess the images.

Currently, Protection of Children Act 1978 includes "to take, or permit to be taken [or to make], any indecent photograph [or pseudo-photograph] of a child". The maximum sentence associated with this is ten years imprisonment.

A person can be classed as 'making' indecent images for the following reason: 

• Opening an email attachment

• Downloading an indecent image

• Storing an image

• Accessing a website where an indecent image "pops up"

If you've been charged with an offence of a sexual nature our specialist sex offence team can provide you with tailored legal advice specific to your offence and guidance on how to proceed.

We'll work tirelessly to challenge the allegation and, should the matter be taken further, carry out extensive investigations on your behalf to prepare a solid defence during court proceedings.
