Being accused of a sexual offence is incredibly stressful. It can affect every area of your life, including your family, your career and your reputation. If you are being investigated or allegations have been made against you, you are advised to seek legal representation without delay to protect your reputation and ensure that your rights are upheld.

Expert legal advice and representation

At Taylor Law we understand how difficult it is to deal with allegations of sexual wrongdoing. Our team are sensitive and approachable and will work hard on your behalf to limit any damage and put together the strongest possible defence.
We have in-depth expertise in defending sexual allegations and some of our partners have rights of higher audience, meaning they can speak on your behalf in court without the need for a barrister.
Although there is no right of anonymity for those charged with sexual offences, for our part, we guarantee complete confidentiality in dealing with you. Because your identity may be made public, we recommend facing the situation head-on and starting to put together a robust defence straight away.

Dealing with allegations of sexual offences

If you are being investigated or charged with an offence, it is important that you understand your legal rights and that you do not act in a way which could harm your defence. For this reason, you should seek legal advice as soon as you as you are made aware of the situation.
Our team are experts in representing those charged with sexual offences, to include historic sex abuse. We understand how to conduct an in-depth examination of any evidence the prosecution may have and challenge this wherever possible.
Together with our experts, we will ensure that every aspect of the case against you is tested. In the event that we believe insufficient evidence exists, we will ask the court to dismiss charges against you.
If the alleged offences are historic with little in the way of forensic evidence, we will look closely at the statements of the complainant and any witnesses and examine their credibility. If the passage of time means that a fair trial is unlikely, we will ask for charges to be dropped.
In the event that you are suffering from ill health, we will obtain expert advice as to whether you are able to stand trial.
