Sexual offences encompass a wide range of legally defined offences, each carrying its own set of complexities and implications. Our expertise has been shown through representing hundreds of clients facing charges related to sexual offences. As experts in the field, we understand the nuanced nature of these cases and recognise that each offence demands a tailored and strategic defence. Below are some common sexual offences that we defend:
The offence of sexual intercourse without consent involves engaging in non-consensual sexual intercourse with another person. This lack of consent can be due to coercion, force, threats, or the victim's incapacity to provide informed and voluntary agreement. Section 611 of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) makes this an offence punishable for 14 years imprisonment.
Section 61J of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW) prohibits and defines what constitutes the offence of aggravated sexual assault. Aggravated sexual assault occurs when the commission of sexual assault is accompanied by additional aggravating factors. These factors may include the use of a weapon, inflicting serious bodily harm, or collaborating with one or more accomplices. This offence is a serious offence, one charged with this can be liable to imprisonment for 20 years.
Allegations of Aggravated Sexual Assault in Company, covered by section 61L of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), indicate instances where the sexual assault occurs with the assistance or presence of others. This aggravating factor adds a layer of complexity to the legal proceedings and makes the offence much more serious.
Sexual Touching, categorised as Indecent Assault under section 61L of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), involves unwanted and indecent physical contact with another person, without their consent. This offence recognises the violation of personal boundaries which extends beyond intercourse, depending on where the person has been touched and the manner in which they were touched, these are factors which can heavily affect the seriousness of the case.
Charges of Aggravated Sexual Touching, defined under section 61M of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), indicate a heightened level of severity, often involving aggravating factors such as violence or the threat of violence. Aggravated sexual touching involves engaging in sexual touching with additional aggravating factors similar to those found in aggravated sexual assault, such as the use of a weapon, being in company, etc, making this a more serious offence with higher chance of severe punishment if convicted.
Child Sex Offences encompass a range of offences involving sexual acts with a child. These charges are governed by various sections of the Crimes Act 1900 and the Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Act 2000. This may include sexual assault, grooming, and the production or distribution of child pornography. Given the vulnerable nature of children involved, such charges are particularly sensitive and demand an intricate understanding of legal nuances.
Charges related to Child Abuse Material involve the possession, production, or distribution of material depicting child abuse, governed by various sections of the Crimes Act 1900 and the Crimes Amendment (Child Pornography and Abuse Material) Act 2010. Possession of child abuse material entails holding, obtaining, or controlling such materials, including photographs or videos, and is prohibited under Section 91H of the Crimes Act 1900. Creating, making, generating, sharing or sending such material can also make you a criminal under this offence.
The offence of recording intimate images without consent, outlined in section 91P of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW), involves capturing explicit images of another person without their knowledge or permission. Capturing unauthorised recording or distributing images of a private and intimate nature, such as those involving nudity or sexual activity without permission can easily make someone convicted of this offence.
