Many sexual offence investigations begin with:
An arrest
A voluntary police interview
The execution of a search warrant
Seizure of mobile phones, computers or digital devices
Contact from specialist police investigation teams
The decisions made during the earliest stages of an investigation can have a significant impact on the outcome of a case.
Obtaining specialist legal advice before answering questions or providing a prepared statement can help protect your legal position.
Many investigations involve allegations dating back many years or even decades.
Historic allegations can present unique evidential challenges, including:
Limited documentary evidence
Changes in witness recollection over time
Missing records
Deceased witnesses
Delay between the alleged events and the investigation
Our solicitors have extensive experience advising clients facing historical allegations and preparing detailed defence strategies in these complex cases.
We regularly advise clients investigated for offences involving indecent images of children.
These investigations frequently involve:
Mobile phone examinations
Computer forensic analysis
Cloud storage evidence
Internet activity
Messaging applications
Digital media analysis
Each case depends upon its own facts, including questions concerning possession, knowledge, access to devices and the digital evidence obtained by investigators.
Every allegation requires careful analysis of the available evidence.
Depending on the circumstances, this may involve:
Reviewing disclosure material
Challenging identification evidence
Examining digital forensic evidence
Obtaining expert evidence
Analysing mobile phone and communication records
Reviewing CCTV and witness evidence
Preparing detailed representations to investigators or prosecutors
Our objective is to provide clear advice and robust representation throughout every stage of the proceedings.
Contact a specialist sexual offence solicitor as soon as you become aware of an allegation. Do not attend a police interview or provide a statement before receiving legal advice.
You should not contact the complainant, witnesses or anyone connected to the allegation. Contact may breach bail conditions or harm your defence.
Keep any material that may assist your case, including messages, emails, photographs, social media records, location data and call logs. Do not delete digital evidence.
Your solicitor will seek disclosure from the police, take your instructions and advise whether to answer questions, give a prepared statement or exercise your right to silence.
After interview, you may be released on bail or under investigation. Your solicitor can advise on conditions, extensions and any impact on work, family or travel.
Many cases involve phones, computers, CCTV, medical evidence or forensic reports. Your solicitor may instruct independent experts where technical evidence needs review.
Where appropriate, your solicitor may submit written representations to the police or CPS explaining why charges should not be brought.
If charged, your solicitor will analyse the prosecution case, advise on plea, prepare disclosure requests and work with specialist counsel to build your defence.
Sexual offence allegations can affect employment, professional registration, DBS checks and family proceedings. Early advice can help manage related risks.
Your legal team will guide you through each stage, from Magistrates' Court or Crown Court proceedings through to trial, sentencing or appeal where required.
