Sexual offence is an extremely sensitive area within the field of law, and something that we treat with sympathy and professionalism at our ABV Solicitors firm within London. Sexual offence is a term heard of and mentioned frequently within the modern world, however, many of our clients may be unsure of the exact technical definition. The Sexual Offences Act came into law in 2003, and is a type of classification system which is used in the United Kingdom to categorise many offences, and something our solicitors refer to frequently at our firm.

What are sexual offences?

Sexual offences are non-consensual harmful acts (whether this be emotionally, physically, or both) forced upon an individual, by another person. If you are an individual who feels as if they may have been involved in this exchange then our legal professionals suggest you call the police (via 999) immediately, and then seek legal help from a solicitors’ firm such as ourselves.

Some examples of the sexual offence cases our sexual offence solicitors defend

Our law firm was established and co-founded by one of our principal solicitors in 2006. Our firm has continued to deliver an exceptional standard of legal help to individual private clients and large scale commercial companies since our establishment. During this time our solicitors (who are regarded as some of the best within their field) have been involved in many successfully defended sexual offence cases. A few common examples of cases our solicitors deal with are: indecent images, sexual grooming, child abuse, sexual assault, and sexual exploitation.
