Defending Against Sexual Offence Allegations

Being accused of a sexual offence is one of the most traumatic life events one can experience. Whether arrested for a single accusation of rape or assault, or as part of a wider investigation into a pattern of behaviour, the stigma associated with these crimes can be devastating. An accusation of any type of sexual offence can significantly damage your reputation, affecting both your personal and professional life.

Not only can prison sentences for these offences be measured in years or even decades, but family life, marriages, careers, and friendships are all at risk from such accusations. Therefore, having a team of legal professionals who understand and can manage the impact of such allegations is crucial.

What are Sexual Offences in the UK?

Sexual offences cover a range of serious crimes, including sexual assault, rape, exploiting others for sexual purposes, and child sexual abuse or grooming. These offences can occur between strangers, current or ex-partners, friends, or family members. There is no time limit for allegations to arise, and there is an increasing number of historical sex crime allegations. Having a strong defence when accused of these serious offences is vital because the accusation alone can destroy a person’s life.
