Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 we are able to assist with allegations for matters such as Rape, Indecent Assault, Child Sexual Offences and possession of indecent images. We know that allegations of this nature are particularly sensitive and can have a much wider impact on your family and sometimes your livelihood.
Indecent Assault
Indecent assault encompasses a number of acts, but the common trait is that an individual makes physical contact with another person in a way that is sexual or indecent in nature, and that it is not classed as a usual occurrence. The penalties for these cases can be severe so it is important to seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity so that we can assist you in getting the best possible outcome.
Rape
Rape involves an individual committing a sexual act to another person without their consent. Cases of rape come with a significant prison sentence and very often the individual will also need to sign the Sex Offenders Register.
Our Sexual Offences team at Venters Solicitors can offer specialist advice in relation to these types of allegations and we advise that you seek advice from our team at the earliest stage of proceedings.
Child Sexual Offences
Sexual offences against children and the downloading and distributing indecent images of children is a serious crime. Age and consent are both is irrelevant where it is alleged a sexual office was committed against a child. Solicitors dealing with child sexual offences understand the acute emotional pressure that those involved will be going through and the sensitivity of the case, so it is important to find an expert who understands the complexities involved.
Particular care must be taken when dealing with allegations of child sexual abuse as the children involved will be in a vulnerable position and there may well be a close relationship between them and the defendant. The child sexual offences team at Venters Solicitors understand how to deal with cases of this nature and are here to help.
Indecent Images
To defend a possession of indecent images charge, the jury must be persuaded that the defendant deliberately or knowingly made, downloaded or distributed indecent images.
The criminal defence solicitors at Venters are very experienced in cases of this nature and we understand the emotional and professional damage that charges such as this can cause.
Very often possession of indecent images can occur innocently through the purchase of second-hand device, or through using a shared device for example, and our team at Venters Solicitors are here to help you get the best outcome.
Our sexual offences team at Venters Solicitors has a wealth of experience in defending these types of cases and we are here to help.
