Common Questions About Sexual Offences
Sexual offences include a wide range of unlawful acts such as rape, sexual assault, possession or distribution of indecent images, and offences involving consent or children. Each case is unique, and legal definitions are governed by the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
This Act is the primary legislation covering sexual offences in England and Wales. It modernised and clarified the definitions of various sexual crimes and introduced new offences, including grooming and offences involving abuse of trust.
Yes, they are among the most serious criminal allegations and can result in significant custodial sentences, placement on the Sex Offenders Register, and life-altering personal and professional consequences.
Consent must be given freely and knowingly by someone with the capacity to do so. A person must agree by choice, and have the freedom and capacity to make that choice. The issue of consent is central in most sexual offence prosecutions.
Bail is not guaranteed in these cases and depends on factors such as the severity of the alleged offence and risk to the public. Our solicitors can make strong representations to the court to increase the likelihood of securing bail with appropriate conditions.
Sentencing varies widely depending on the offence. Rape and serious sexual assaults can carry lengthy custodial terms, while other offences may result lesser sentences. Sentencing guidelines and mitigating or aggravating factors play a major role.
