Our Defence Services for Sexual Offences

Police Station & Early Investigation Advice

If you are arrested or under investigation for a sexual offence — including rape, sexual assault, indecent images, historic allegations or child exploitation — we attend the police station, protect your rights, review the evidence and plan the early defence strategy.

Charged & Trial Representation

From charge through to Crown Court trial, we prepare your defence, challenge prosecution evidence (forensic, medical, digital), advise on legal issues (consent, capacity, historic allegations), instruct appropriate experts and represent you with skilled advocates.

Historic & Complex Sexual Offence Cases

We handle cases of historic sexual abuse, allegations involving children, digital evidence (image-based, social media), grooming, online communications, and complex forensic/medical issues. 

Post-Conviction and Ancillary Matters

Following a conviction or plea, we advise on appeals, sentence reviews and sex offender register obligations. 

Key Considerations & What You Should Know

• Urgent action matters: Early legal involvement often makes the difference — from preserving evidence to shaping interrogation strategy.

• Severe penalties and collateral effects: Sexual offence convictions can lead to lengthy custodial sentences, indefinite, major reputational harm, employment/licensing risk and immigration consequences.

• Evidence is complex: Many cases involve forensic, digital or historical evidence (CCTV, communications, vulnerable complainants, capacity, memory). Specialised lawyers are needed. 

• Public & online scrutiny: Allegations often attract media and social attention; our team understands the extra dimension of reputation and privacy protection.

• Legal aid and funding: Many sexual offence defence cases qualify for legal aid due to their seriousness; we can check eligibility and funding options immediately.
