How Solicitors Prepare a Defence in Sexual Offence Allegations
Are You Facing Allegations of a Sexual Offence?
If you are accused of a sexual crime, your life will never be the same. Even before you are charged, the damage to your reputation, job, and mental health may be huge. Our professionals are committed to helping you find and go for the finest possible results.
Our team of defence solicitors for sexual offence cases is good at building powerful defences. We will look into every part of your case, ask questions, and present it all. Our experts are available to assist from the first accusation until the trial.
Early Intervention: Representation Before Charges
One of the greatest ways to fight sexual crime charges is to have pre-charge representation.
This means:
- Making proactive reports to the police
- Giving evidence on your behalf before judgements are made on charges
- Finding flaws in the allegation early on
- Trying to have the lawsuit dismissed before it ever goes to court
Holborn Adams are pioneers in this area. Many of our clients never face charges because of the strength of our pre-charge defence work.
Collecting and Analysing Evidence
To build a strong defence, you need to do a full investigation. Our lawyers will—
- Get the police to provide information
- If you can find it, look at the CCTV video.
- Find and speak to people who may be able to help the defence.
- Look at digital evidence from phones, computers, and online activity.
- Look for anything that doesn't add up in the complainant's claims
We engage with forensic and technological experts to question the prosecution's DNA, psychiatric, or digital evidence.
Making a Personalised Defence Plan
Each accusation is different. We never use a "one-size-fits-all" strategy. A defensive plan could include:
- Getting permission when it's needed
- Pointing out mistaken identity
- Showing erroneous or harmful claims
- Undermining unreliable or prejudicial evidence
We get you ready for police interviews, hearings, and court appearances in great detail, so you know precisely what to anticipate and when to expect it.
Collaboration with Barristers and Experts
When things become truly severe, such as when a case goes to the Crown Court, our staff works closely with —
- Lawyers who have a lot of expertise with sexual offences
- Witnesses who are experts in fields including health, psychology, and digital forensics, and are willing to testify.
- Reputation management experts are involved in cases where charges have gotten a lot of attention.
Our professional association with these experts makes your defence stronger and more effective.
Strong Representation in Court
If your sexual crime case goes to court, our lawyers:
- Can ask for bail if possible
- Ask whether you may use evidence that isn't dependable
- Cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses in detail
- Make sure the judge and jury understand your defence
We also communicate with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) about plea deals to have charges withdrawn or lessened when it's needed.
