Sexual Offences

Criminal Lawyers Melbourne

Have you been charged with a sexual offence? We have an extensive number of articles about sexual offences and other general articles about sexual offending on this website.

Sexual offending can vary from indecent assault, rape, carnal knowledge, sexual penetration of a child, incest or producing child pornography.

For people who are pleading guilty there is a lot of preparation that can be done that will help to put your offending in proper context.

Some issues in sex cases that run to trial are (depending on the charge);

  • "Was there consent to what happened?"
  • "When did they first complain and to who?"
  • "Have they made a compensation claim?"
  • "Can we separate the trials in relation to different complainants?"
  • "What evidence can we lead about behaviour inconsistent with the complaint?"
