Sexual offences
Being Accused of a sexual offence can be a very distressing time. We understand the destructive impact it may have on you, your family, your career and reputation as well as your livelihood. The lengthy custodial sentences and threat of being on the Sexual Offences Register is a real concern.
Rees Clayton Solicitors are here to ease the pressure and fight your corner throughout the investigation. We have successfully defended every type of sexual offence including:
- Rape
- Sexual Assault
- Possession of indecent Images
- Grooming offences / causing sexual activity without consent
- Abuse of Trust
We have defended many cases over the years and have extensive experience in this area. Some allegations can be malicious, made by ex-partners or where family conflicts have arisen. Other cases are historic and often it is one’s word against another’s.
One of the key issues that arises is that of consent. In law, if the complainant consents or the defendant had a reasonable belief that the complainant consented then an offence has not been committed. However, both circumstances can be difficult to prove especially when the evidence is dependant on one person’s word against another’s.
Rees Clayton Solicitors recognise these issues and with thorough investigation can assist you in preparing your defence. Such a proactive approach can often lead to acquittals or a lesser sentence being imposed. We will always treat your case with total care, confidentiality and respect.
If you require assistance, then call us now for a free, no obligation consultation with one of our dedicated specialist solicitors. We will assess your case, provide you with your options and explain the process. We can also advise on appropriate methods of funding. There are two methods of funding; Legal Aid (Public Funding) and Private fees. We’ll explain if there are any costs involved so you are always aware of any fees upfront.
Cases we have successfully defended:
- Our client was charged with sexual activity with a child and we were instructed following the police interview. We made strong representations concerning the evidence and the case was dropped at the police station investigation.
- Our client was charged with indecent images and disputed knowledge of the images. We worked tirelessly and instructed an expert to establish his defence.
- Our client was charged with an allegation of Rape. We were able to demonstrate through witnesses and social media that this allegation was malicious. The case was subsequently dropped.
- Our client was charged with a large number of indecent images. Due to our thorough preparation and with the assistance of expert evidence, we were able to illustrate that they had been no access to such images on the dark web but had actually originated from legitimate websites.
