At ABV Solicitors, we deal with a wide range of criminal law, including sexual offences. There can be no doubting how serious it is to be accused of a sexual offence and the risk it poses to your reputation, employment and liberty should not be underestimated. If you have been accused of a sexual offence, it is important to seek legal representation from our specialist sexual offence solicitor as soon as possible. ABV Solicitors are a leading law firm in the UK with a team of experienced sexual offence solicitors who can help you to understand the charges against you and to defend your case. We have been cited as leaders in our field and our previous successful cases are representative of the impact we have on the outcome of cases.

Do I need a solicitor?

In most cases, you will be required to have legal representation if you are charged with a sexual offence. This is because sexual offence cases are often complex and can involve sensitive evidence. It is a serious matter and although you may have seen someone in a movie going it alone and it is your legal right to do so, it is really not advisable if you wish to have a favourable outcome. A sexual offence solicitor can help you to understand the law, to prepare your defence, and to represent you in court with the support of leading barristers, QCs and other experts from medical and forensics fields, for example. We have worked closely with these groups who are renowned for their work.

Solicitor assistance throughout the UK

ABV Solicitors have firms throughout the UK, so we can provide you with legal representation no matter where you are in the country. We also have a team of experienced criminal barristers and QCs who can represent you in court.

What sexual offence solicitors do

A sexual offence solicitor can help you with a range of issues, such as explaining the law to you. We can assist you during questioning at the police station and our intervention may be able to prevent charges being brought against you. However, if you are charged, we can also prepare evidence for your defence and support the work of your barristers and QCs during trial. We will represent you in the magistrates’ court as all cases go here first, before the rest of the legal team come together for trial at the Crown Court. We will also advise you on your options throughout the process and we may be able to negotiate with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and help with any appeals that need to be made if you are convicted.

Types of sexual offence that solicitors typically help with

Sexual offence solicitors can help you with a range of sexual offences, including crimes such as rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, historical sexual allegations, sexual grooming, indecent images, and child abuse.
