Sexual Assault
We can help
Sexual Assaults are now very common and can range from sexual touching to actual penetration. Over the years we have seen the number of sexual assault charges go up. The police have been under more pressure to charge in respects of sexual assaults.
This political pressure to charge can often lead to miscarriages of justice if you do not appoint the right solicitors. We will ensure no matter the pressure, the police and CPS are held to account, in respects to charging decision.
We will also fight to ensure that the correct procedures have been followed throughout, and we will be robust in defending you against any such allegations.
