What is sexual offence?

The term sexual offence covers a broad range of crimes, including: non-consensual crimes such as rape or sexual assault, crimes against children including child sexual abuse or grooming, and crimes that exploit others for a sexual purpose, whether in person or online. Such offences can occur between strangers, friends, acquaintances, current or ex-partners or family members and the passage of time does not prevent prosecution from occurring.

What to do if you are accused of committing a sexual offence

Whether you have been contacted by the police or not, it is vital that you seek legal advice from a criminal defence solicitor if you have been accused of committing a sexual offence. Under no circumstances should you try and contact the person or people who have made the allegations, and it is important that you keep any records of communication you have had with the accuser as this could aid your defence.
