Case summary
This file is indexed as “Aiding obscene-material distribution: prison term suspended, no actual time served”. It was classified as Aiding distribution of obscene materials (Network Act). The recorded outcome is Suspended sentence.
Statutes and legal standards
Indecent assault, sexual violence, stalking and hidden-camera counts sit in the Criminal Act and special statutes on sexual violence, youth protection and stalking. Venue, first statements and devices drive the file. Emergency contact bans can issue before the main charge is settled.
Issues and LAWL’s work
Contact, consent, venue and the first statement are the file. Counsel stops post-report contact, preserves devices, and keeps settlement wording — if any — inside a closed channel. This file was classified as Aiding distribution of obscene materials (Network Act), with the outcome Suspended sentence.
Result of LAWL’s work
The indexed outcome is Suspended sentence. Sentencing and charging exits turn on early evidence, harm repair where it applies, and a record the court can use — not a speech about remorse.
Practice notes
After a report, do not message the complainant. Preserve cloud accounts before they are overwritten. Workplace, transit and campus venues each write a different record; facts should move only through counsel.

Before you call
May I text the complainant to apologize after a report?
No. A reply can become a second file, especially under the stalking statute or a contact ban. All contact goes through counsel.
Is settlement enough to stop a sexual-offense charge?
Not by itself. Some counts proceed regardless of the complainant’s later preference. If any civil wording is discussed, it is counsel-led and kept off informal channels.
