Tim Baker, Director of Jericho Law, has a vast amount of experience in dealing with cases of Indecent Images. Here are some examples:
We will fight your corner whether you intend to plead guilty or not guilty.
Whether you are looking for advice on possible legal defences to such allegations or you are looking to maximise your mitigation and keep any potential sentence to a minimum, our specialist team of solicitors can help.
We work tirelessly with our clients to identify any potential holes in the prosecution case and highlight these in the form of written representations. This is with the aim of avoiding criminal charges altogether. Where this is not possible or where our clients are seeking to plead guilty, we will compile a comprehensive file of mitigation including recommending courses of treatment/rehabilitation. In some circumstances, even when the evidence is strong and a client admits the offence, it may be possible to negotiate an out of court disposal, such as a conditional caution.
The sentencing guidelines for these offences range drastically. For simple possession of indecent images the sentence can range from a medium level community order up to 3 years imprisonment. There are many factors that a court will take into consideration when deciding upon a sentence but the main factors are the category of images (A,B and C), the quantity of images and any relevant previous convictions. If you face allegations of distribution of indecent images the sentencing becomes more severe and the court can impose anything up to 5 years imprisonment. It is therefore extremely important that you seek expert legal advice if you are facing any such allegations.
It is essential to seek legal advice as early as possible.
Common defences:
The following defences to Possessing Indecent Images are identified in s.160(2) Criminal Justice Act 1988:
- that the suspect had a legitimate reason for having the photograph in his possession; or
- that he had not himself seen the photograph and did not know, nor had any cause to suspect, it to be indecent; or
- that the photograph was sent to him without any prior request made by him or on his behalf and that he did not keep it for an unreasonable time.

Having received a letter from trading standards last year they informed me of a pending investigations and were intent on prosecuting myself for allegations of fraud and mis representation ! However, after contacting Tim Baker and discussing the situation I was immediately reassured and confident that Tim and his team were the absolute way forward ! Tims understanding of the law and code of conduct was second to none , He set about the boundaries of law and contacted trading standards with his intentions to represent me , He continued to be the most knowledgeable and professional lawyer I've had the privilege to work with , My confidence throughout working with Tim for over 6 months never faulted and the end result due to Tims Advocacy of my rights and tireless work meant I had no criminal case to answer and my reputation restored and the whole matter disposed of. Don't hesitate for a minute to contact Tim Baker a stellar lawyer that should be proud of all his professional work.
