A Hampshire Constabulary spokesperson said: "Community resolutions are out of court disposals - meaning that criminal offences can be dealt with following an admission of guilt by a suspect, without pursuing criminal charges or a prosecution through the courts.
"They are issued on a case by case basis, factoring in the full circumstances based on the evidence, and most importantly in line with the wishes of the victim."
