Understanding the allegations made against you

When you contact our solicitors it is important that you are honest and provide us with as much information as possible so that we can build the best defence for your case. Unfortunately the law surrounding sexual offence is lengthy and complicated. Sexual offence is dealt with very severely. Often you may find yourself in a situation and you will be unaware that you have carried out a sexual offence. It is essential that you speak to us before speaking to the authorities so that you do not implicate yourself in the case any further. We will explain all your rights and responsibilities and we will deal with the authorities on your behalf where possible.

Building a strong defence for your case

To begin with we need to understand the nature of the allegation that has been made against you. We will find out exactly what has been said and we will discuss the matter with you so that you understand the situation too. We will gather as much evidence as we can to support your case and we will also speak to any witnesses where possible. These witnesses will be prepared for cross questioning if necessary. It is more than likely that your phone and laptop will be seized and all of the information on them will be under scrutiny. This includes all communications between you and the victim, but all your other actions will also be assessed including messages sent between you and your friends or family and even the pages of the internet that you have searched in recent times. The police and other relevant authorities will have access to your social media accounts, they will be looking at your friends’ accounts and all aspects of your life will be under investigation. Even deleted information can be retrieved by the police.
