Sexual Charges
Sexual Charges
Have you been charged with a sexual offence? We have an extensive number of articles about sexual offences and other general articles about sexual offending on this website.
Sexual offending can vary from indecent assault, rape, carnal knowledge, sexual penetration of a child, incest or producing child pornography.
For people who are pleading guilty there is a lot of preparation that can be done that will help to put your offending in proper context.
Some issues in sex cases that run to trial are (depending on the charge);
- "Was there consent to what happened?"
- "When did they first complain and to who?"
- "Have they made a compensation claim?"
- "Can we separate the trials in relation to different complainants?"
- "What evidence can we lead about behaviour inconsistent with the complaint?"
We run and win a lot of jury trials on sex cases. The key to fighting sex charges is preparation.
We have a great deal of experience in these matters. We know that innocent people sometimes get accused of terrible crimes.
If you have been charged with a sex offence, please contact us immediately by calling 03 9670 5111 or book an appointment to meet with one of our solicitors.
