Investigations and Defence
Defending allegations involving indecent images requires careful management of both the investigation and the evidence. Our solicitors advise on all aspects of the process, including reviewing and securing digital devices, handling disclosure requests, and challenging any unlawful searches or seizures. Early engagement is critical to ensure that investigative steps are properly scrutinised and that your position is protected from the outset.
Legal representation often involves assessing the nature and scope of the evidence, advising on the appropriate responses to investigators, and preparing representations where necessary to mitigate potential charges. In complex cases, this may also include coordinating with forensic experts to analyse devices and digital data, ensuring that evidence is handled in accordance with strict legal standards.
Legal and Regulatory Framework
Offences relating to indecent images are primarily governed by the Protection of Children Act 1978 and the Criminal Justice Act 1988, in addition to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (‘PACE’) and its associated Codes of Practice. These laws define the offences, establish investigative procedures, and set out the rights of individuals under investigation.
Investigations often involve extensive digital examination, analysis of online activity, and review of communications. Individuals under investigation are presumed innocent, but the consequences of the investigative process can be severe. These may include restrictions on professional practice, reputational harm, and the stress associated with prolonged legal uncertainty.
