https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.u...ffences_Definitive_Guideline_content_web1.pdf - Section 9 is the relevant one.

Sentencing guidelines will depend on which of the three categories it falls into. Sounds like Category 2 at the moment and, if he's admitted grooming, then that's the more serious level, showing high culpability. It's that's the case, the starting point is 3 years but there may be aggravating/mitigating factors. The range is 2-6 years.

If it's the less serious level of Category 2 or even Category 3, it could be anything from a Community Order to 3 years.

he's going down if you ask me. 18 months minimum. Having said that, anything can happen in court.

Thanks Balo. If that's the legal stance then legally he isn't. However to me a kid is a kid. 5 or 15. He is no better than a paedophile. When he is mixing it with them in jail. I hope to hell he feels like one of them.

Yep. At the end of the day, we can argue all we want but the law is 16 for a reason, and he knew that. He deserves everything he gets for in all probability runing the girls life.

Fuck me!

If you insist ;-)

That is the maximum, in the most serious of cases, as PB posted it depends on the category, I doubt he will be in the most severe.
