I might not have to kill myself now

Hello, 3 years ago I was charged with 3 counts of possession of csam (cp). However, the police don't have evidence that they are minors. They are closeups and it's hard to tell. I never intentionally downloaded something that I thought was csam.

My lawyer has been working with the prosecutor to see if there's a deal which can be made. It's likely not going to be dismissed. But initially they were asking for 3 years prison. My psychosexual evaluation came back indicating that I'm trustworthy and that my autism and being sexually abused as a child contributed to not being careful when looking up pornography.

I'm really happy that I might not be going to prison! It's really awesome. I have a sex addiction and have been getting help for that. I have to learn to be careful of using the Internet since you never know what ages they are. I'm feeling hopeful.

There are a host of problems (besides legal) that can result from that sort of self-stimulation. It might not be a bad idea to cultivate other forms of stimulation such as athletics, working on restoring a classic car, learning a new skill, or taking a class in something. By cultivating a variety of other interests, you might be able to reduce the focus on a narrow field of interest.

I'm assuming you're referring to sex addiction? Yes, that is what I went through and it was horrible. I've been getting help for the last 2 years which has really helped me a lot.
