As I said earlier, although it can be dealt with at the Magistrates’ Court, the offence is usually dealt with at the Crown Court because it is considered that magistrates’ sentencing powers (six months custody) are insufficient. You have not said whether this matter is being dealt with at the Crown Court, but if it is a custodial sentence is highly likely. The lack of previous convictions MAY convince the judge that a suspended sentence may be appropriate but that depends of other factors, such as the seriousness of the particular offence.
