Sentencing for Indecent Image Offences


The court will consider various factors when sentencing a person who has been convicted or pleaded guilty to an indecent image offence. The table below guides the likely sentence for each image category and the offence. Once the court has placed the offending into the correct sentencing bracket, they will apply aggravating and mitigating factors to establish the exact sentence.


In addition to the main sentence, the court will usually impose a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for a minimum period of five years. Ensuring the terms of this order are lawful and relevant is very important to make sure that you are not faced with excessive restrictions on your life moving forwards.


The accused will also be subject to the notification requirements of the Sex Offenders Register for a term determined by the court.
