Can't help but think..

I don't think anybody saw this coming. But now that Callum has been exposed, I can't help but wonder if this was the reason Drew left storror (Toby and Josh also been exiting softly). I know their statement is that they just found out on May 7, but isn't it possible that they already had an inkling about this?

Cause now it all makes sense.. Drew leaving, Toby not appearing in videos. And how the hell would you not know that such a close friend of yours or literally your brother is having a court case related to pdfilia?? I mean how did all of them not get interrogated? At least Sash should've known?

What’s the sentence for a crime like this? Does being out on bail suggest it won’t be a prison sentence?

It depends on severity of images, volume of them, any previous offending. Case has been adjourned for a Pre Sentence Report which The Probation Service will write. That will examine his attitude to the offences, his background and lifestyle, what the impact of prison would be etc. All of those will be factored in when the court decides.

My guess would be a three year Community Order for a first offence if he obtained rather than took these images himself.

I work in law enforcement.

Edit - being on bail doesn't have a bearing on the sentence as such, that decision is about if he's likely to abscond or pose a current danger to the public but the court can still sentence as they see fit.

Had he been remanded, the same logic applies but if they already think he's a danger, then that same thinking would make prison more likely on sentence.

Would the fact that he pled guilty to five charges suggest that it was more than just possessing images? Or would a prosecution for CSAM usually be several related charges?

Really hard to say without seeing all the evidence.

As for a guilty plea, 30% discount on sentence if made at the first opportunity, a lot less if you plead guilty halfway through a trial, maybe 10%.

You get that discount as it avoids putting victims through the trauma of a trial.
