What is a sexual offence?
There is a broad spectrum of sexual offences, which include the following:
The police officer arresting you must specify the crime for which you are being charged. Because every crime is different and incorporates various punishments, you must impart information to your sex offence solicitor. If you claim your innocence, every piece of factual evidence you provide could prove favourable to the outcome of your case.
What are the most common sexual offences reported?
Rape is one of the most reported sexual crimes. Rape is sexual intercourse without consent, whereby penetration occurs, as opposed to consensual sex where both parties agree by choice and have the freedom and mental capacity to make that choice.
Sexual assault is an umbrella term that includes the act of rape, as well as attempted rape. It can also include unwanted sexual advancements or threats.
Child or sexual grooming is the act of gaining a child’s trust to abuse them sexually. Children are not the only victims of grooming but also vulnerable adults.
Being accused of these and other crimes is a severe offence where, if found guilty, you could face punitive punishments, including life sentences for the most severe offences.
Because of these realities, you will need a sex offence solicitor who is capable of handling your case to its conclusion.
