The importance of a sexual offence solicitor for defending sex crimes ABV Solicitors A sexual offence allegation can change the rest of your life, as well as affect your family and your loved ones, your social reputation and your health and well-being. You must instruct a sexual offence solicitor to defend your case whether you have committed the crime or a false allegation has been made against you. If you have been involved in sexual activity and are uncomfortable about your actions and if you are unsure whether or not you have committed a crime, then speaking to an experienced sexual offence solicitor can help you understand your situation and prepare you for what may come. You need to find a sexual offence solicitor that is recognised by the top legal directories, such as The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, who can put together the best defence for your case. A top sexual offence solicitor will have a proven track record for successfully defending a sexual offence. They will be experienced and knowledgeable in a range of sexual crimes, including rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual grooming, child abuse and historical sexual allegations. Most sexual offences are defined in the sexual Offences Act 2003. Your sexual offence solicitor will find out exactly which type of sexual offence you are being accused of to prepare the best defence for you. Historic sexual allegations Historic sexual allegations are any sexual crimes such as rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse that took place in the past; this could be as old as 50 years ago or within the last few months. These cases can be lengthy and complex, particularly if the alleged offence occurred many years ago. Again, you must speak to your sexual offence solicitor immediately to find out what you are being accused of and what the potential consequences could be. The law has changed and is very different to the previous legislation of 1956, which is why you need an experienced sexual offence solicitor who knows both the old system and the new one. The sex offender’s register Your sexual offence solicitor will also be able to advise on issues relating to the sex offender’s register. The sex offenders register contains the details of those who are cautioned, convicted or released from prison for a sexual offence against a child or adult. If you are placed on the register, this can pose significant restrictions for you and will harm your future. Your sexual offence solicitor will aim to have the charges dropped completely so that you do not have to face these issues. Contact a solicitor immediately To help your case, you will need to contact a sexual offence solicitor from the outset of the allegations being made against you. Your sexual offence solicitor will be present at the police station and prevent you from implicating yourself any further. They will provide emotional support, which is also essential during this traumatic time. Their assistance can make the difference between whether a criminal charge can be avoided or the case has to be settled in court.
