Understand Your Situation
Category C is the lowest classification but still carries a criminal record and Sex Offender registration. We fight to minimise the impact.
Defending Category C Allegations
Category C involves indeterminate or less explicit images. These cases often involve large numbers of images downloaded in bulk. The risk here is often the sheer volume pushing the sentencing up.
We scrutinise the 'bulk'. Often, one download action results in hundreds of images. We argue this should be treated as a single event, not hundreds of separate crimes. For first-time offenders, we push for high-level Community Orders or Suspended Sentences, focusing on rehabilitation and risk management rather than punishment.

Plan Your Defence
Sexual Harm Prevention Orders (SHPO)
The police will likely apply for an SHPO, restricting your internet use.
We negotiate the terms of this order. We ensure you can still work and communicate with family, preventing the order from being draconian or unworkable. We take a holistic approach to protect your future while dealing with the legal charge.
Worried About Work?
We help manage the impact of SHPOs on your career.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
