Indecent Images

Such offences are intricate, complex and sensitive in nature. In particular, we therefore work closely with clients, and offer tailored and strategic legal advice from the outset of the initial investigation and interview stage, following notification from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) that an investigation has commenced. We adopt a proactive approach, and liaise with investigators at the earliest possible stage. When clients are faced with allegations involving the possession, manufacture or distribution of indecent images, such an approach is vital, in order to secure either a “no prosecution” decision or the most favourable outcome for clients. 

Many of our clients facing such allegations have had no prior involvement with the criminal justice system, and Owen Beattie Solicitors frequently represent professionals, such as medical professionals, engineers, teachers, those in management positions and a range of other professionals. 

The strategic and tailored approach adopted by Owen Beattie Solicitors in dealing with such offences is complimented by working closely with an experienced and dedicated team, including leading barristers, and a variety of experts, who have the ability to analyse and comment on forensic evidence, such as electronic communication, electronic device data, and the category of the alleged indecent images. 

Owen Beattie Solicitors are specialised in providing dedicated legal advice and representing individuals who are subject to investigation, or have been charged with offences of possessing, manufacturing or distributing indecent images.
