Sexual Offences are Serious: Take Advice from our Sexual Offence Lawyers

Sex offences are among some of the most serious charges that can be faced.  It is important to talk to an experienced sexual offence lawyer as soon as possible.

In the digital age, there are more and more ways to commit a sexual offence. Communicating with strangers on social media platforms like Snap Chat, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter and Kik are just some of the ways that people find themselves charged with sex offences. People can send messages, pictures or videos without realizing the seriousness of their actions.

Allegations of sexual abuse are easy to make and can be hard to defend. Sometimes allegations are linked to family law disputes, custody disputes or disharmony within families or friends.

Police can lay historical charges relating to events years or even decades ago, making it very hard for accused persons to mount a defence.

Sexual Offences include:

  • rape
  • indecent assault
  • unlawful sexual intercourse
  • incest
  • persistent sexual exploitation
  • possessing child pornography
  • communicating with children for a prurient purpose and
  • procuring children to engage in sexual acts

If these charges are proven it can lead to lengthy sentences of imprisonment and being placed on sex offender registers. An experienced sexual offence lawyer may make all the difference.
