RAPE
ROBUST AND COMPASSIONATE ADVICE
Facing an allegation of rape is one of the most serious and distressing situations a person can encounter. These cases are complex, emotionally charged, and carry significant personal, legal, and reputational consequences. At Sexual Offence Defence, we provide specialist legal representation with discretion, tenacity, and strategic focus from the very outset.
The central legal issue in rape cases is consent, but these allegations often involve additional layers—such as the nature of any relationship between the parties, the credibility of both the complainant and the accused, and the dynamics surrounding the incident itself.
Early legal intervention is vital to preserve key evidence, challenge inconsistencies, and ensure that your account is accurately presented.
With extensive experience handling rape allegations, including those involving current or former partners, acquaintances, or complete strangers, we understand the nuances and sensitivity required in such cases. We engage with every detail, from police interviews through to trial, ensuring that no aspect of your defence is overlooked.
Our proactive approach often leads to positive outcomes at an early stage, including pre-charge decisions where prosecution can be avoided which is always the aim. If charges are brought, we prepare every case with thoroughness and professionalism, using trusted experts and experienced counsel where needed.
We also understand the impact on reputation on our clients and manage public exposure wherever possible.
If you are facing an allegation of rape, contact us immediately for confidential, expert advice and strategic support.
