Uk Juvenile Sexting Laws

Summary

Outcome 21 in the UK allows police to record a crime without formal action, often due to the offenders age. Repeated sexting by a minor may still fall under Outcome 21, but authorities might view it more seriously. The decision depends on specific circumstances and discretion.

So the case study as mentioned yesterday is about an offender under the age of * who talks sexually and shares nudes with an adult over the age of * consensually with no coercion and both where aware of each others age and to our knowledge yesterday this only happened once but in the update to the case study it has be found that this is not the first occasion this has happened and that the offender has done this on multiple occasions with different adults. As the case study is based in the Uk am i correct in saying that the offender would still be treated under outcome *?
In the UK, Outcome * is used by police to record a crime as having been committed but no formal action is taken, usually due to the age of the offender or other mitigating circumstances.
Here's what applies:
- Multiple Occasions: The fact that the offender has done this multiple times might influence the decision, as repeated behavior can be seen more seriously.
- Age: Given that the offender is under *, Outcome * may still apply, but it depends on the specific circumstances and the discretion of the authorities.
Questions:
- Are there any other mitigating factors or details in your case study that might affect the outcome?
i don’t believe so
Thank you for providing the details. Given the repeated behavior, authorities might consider it more serious. However, since the offender is under *, Outcome * could still be applicable based on discretion.
Is there anything specific you want to clarify regarding the application of Outcome * in this case?
thank you for your help with my studies
