At this point it will be necessary to brief Counsel for the upcoming stages of your matter;

• Directions hearing
• Special hearing (if required)
• Trial

The choice of Counsel in these matters is crucial. Sexual offences generally cause lenthy prison terms if you are found guilty. You need to get Counsel/Barrister in place who knows the law and will fight hard on your behalf. We use a number of barristers who do a lot of these cases for us. We use people who we know get good results for our clients.

It is very important to have continuity through this process if possible. The barrister should be the one who did the committal as they have a good idea of what the witnesses will be like.
