What is a sexual offence?
The term sexual offence refers to a range of sexual offences including sexual harassment, rape/attempted rape, historic abuse cases and child sexual offences. Some offences carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. If you are being investigated for a sexual offence, the police should specify clearly which offence you are being accused of.
THE SEXUAL OFFENCES ACT 2003
Most sexual offences are outlined by the Sexual Offences Act 2003, which consolidated previous legislation to update and strengthen the law around what constitutes a sexual offence. This act covers offences against both adults and children.

HOW OUR SEXUAL OFFENCE SOLICITORS CAN HELP YOU
Being accused of a sexual offence can be extremely distressing not just for the defendant but also for close friends and family. Reputations, relationships and careers can all be put under terrible strain. Often it is the defendant’s first experience of the criminal justice system, something which brings additional stress and anxiety to all those involved, particularly if the case generates unwanted media attention.
To help you navigate through this challenging, stressful and legally complex situation, it is vital you seek expert legal advice from an experienced sex crime solicitor as early as possible; ideally before charges have been brought. This will ensure your interests are properly represented and that you receive fair treatment from the authorities.
