Sexual Offences

Allegations of sexual offences are among the most serious and sensitive matters in criminal law. The reputational, personal, and legal stakes are extremely high — specialist representation from the very first moment is essential.

Why early legal advice matters

Sexual offence investigations are handled by specialist police teams. They are often lengthy, involve complainant ABE (Achieving Best Evidence) interviews, and can result in significant pre-charge bail restrictions. Getting a solicitor involved from the point of first contact — not just at interview — is critical.

What we do at the police station

Attend immediately on arrest or voluntary interview request
Advise fully before any interview under caution
Challenge any unlawful bail conditions imposed
Review digital and forensic evidence before interview where possible
Ensure no interview proceeds without proper preparation

The importance of confidentiality

All communications with your solicitor are protected by legal professional privilege. Nothing you tell us can be disclosed to anyone — including the police or prosecution — without your consent. You can speak to us with complete candour.

What happens after a police interview?

The police may release you under investigation, bail you, charge you, or take no further action. We guide you through each stage and will continue to represent you through any subsequent court proceedings, including instructing specialist barristers for trial.
