The recent high profile investigations in the media have seen an increase in the volume of charges and prosecutions for sexual offences. Sexual offences cover a broad range including:
- Sexual Assault
- Rape
- Grooming
- Possession of Indecent Images
Once a person has been charged with a sexual offence, there are often several things to consider. In many of these cases, specialist forensic experts are involved and it is important to identify at the outset, which experts may be required in your case. Experts are often vital to assess possible causes of injuries or the extent of any injuries. They are also commonly used to identify DNA, semen and hairs.
In addition to this, some cases involve the issue of consent. This can become complex if a complainant is intoxicated, asleep or suffers from a mental health illness. Other cases have issues concerning the age of a complainant and their ability to consent. Whatever the issue may be in your case, rest assured that our team of experienced lawyers can assist you.
