The category of sexual offences covers a broad spectrum of crimes involving non-consensual sexual activity or the exploitation of others. These range from sexual assault and rape to internet-related crimes such as the possession of indecent images.
Due to the severity of these charges, investigations are often lengthy and intrusive. Our specialist sexual offences solicitors will guide you through this complex process, ensuring that the evidence is scrutinised—including forensic samples, digital data (phones/computers), and witness credibility.

Having an expert solicitor is vital. A conviction can lead to life-altering consequences.
Defence Strategy
Maximising your chances of mitigating serious criminal repercussions.
Consent signifies mutual agreement in any sexual encounter. A person consents if they agree by choice and have the freedom and capacity to make that choice.
Successfully defending against allegations often requires demonstrating that the accused genuinely believed the other party consented (known as “reasonable belief”). Our sexual offences solicitors are experts in analysing the circumstances surrounding the allegation to establish whether a reasonable belief in consent existed.
Note that in cases involving children under 16, consent is not a legal defence.
Serious allegations involving non-consensual sexual acts. These cases often hinge on the complex issue of consent.
Allegations reported years or even decades after the alleged incident. These are complex cases where we meticulously investigate inconsistencies in memories and statements.
Allegations of building a relationship with a child or vulnerable adult to exploit them for sexual purposes.
Offences involving the making, distribution, or possession of indecent images of children (IIOC). These cases often require expert forensic analysis of digital devices.
Online or in-person communication that is sexual in nature with someone under 16.

Yes. Under UK law, defendants accused of sexual offences generally have a right to anonymity unless and until they are charged. Even after being charged, reporting restrictions may apply. Victims (complainants) have lifelong anonymity.
The Sex Offenders Register requires convicted individuals to notify the police of their personal details (address, bank accounts, travel) for a set period. The duration depends on the sentence length; for sentences over 30 months, the notification requirement is indefinite.
Historic cases often lack forensic evidence. Our defence strategy focuses on cross-examining the complainant’s account, identifying inconsistencies, checking historical records (e.g., employment, school records) to prove alibis, and assessing the credibility of witnesses.
Sexual offences are treated very seriously and often carry custodial sentences. However, the length depends on the specific offence, culpability, and harm caused. Expert representation is vital to present mitigating factors that can reduce the sentence.
