Relist: Incomplete answer.i still waiting for answer to my question!
they would be prosecuted on indictment by the DPP in the central criminal court. if they have been charged they will appear initially before the district court a couple of times before being served with a book of evidence and being sent forward for trial. What are the charges?.
Experience: B. Corp Law, Ll.B. Dip Comm Prop. In general practice for more then 6 years
not sure of the charges yet but initially arrested for buggery but i understand that one cant be charged for that committed pre 1993 just know 2 lesser charges
Yes those type of incidences will definitely end up in the Central Criminal Court
ronan,i understand that the maximum sentence is 2 years for these kind of charges is that accurate? is it true that if a person pleads guilty to one of the charges then a suspended sentence is more likely?
There many sexual offences and I'd need to know the exact charge before I could comment on this. However must sexual offences can carry a maximum of 5 years and 10 years generally. While a plea of guilty does mitigate the sentence as it saves the victim from having to go through a trial. In a case such as this though it shouldn't mitigate to a suspended sentence. The court may suspend part of the sentence
