What Are Sexual Offences?
Sexual offences cover a wide range of criminal charges under Queensland law. These include:
- Rape: non-consensual penetration
- Sexual assault: unwanted sexual contact
- Indecent treatment of a child
- Unlawful carnal knowledge
- Grooming or procuring a child for sexual acts
- Distributing or threatening to distribute intimate images
- Maintaining a sexual relationship with a child
Charges may relate to recent incidents, historical allegations, or online activity. In many cases, the evidence may involve text messages, social media, CCTV footage, or forensic reports.
Potential Consequences of a Conviction
A conviction for a sex offence in Queensland can result in:
- Lengthy imprisonment (up to life, depending on the charge)
- Mandatory listing on the Sex Offender Register
- Restrictions on employment, travel, and contact with children
- Significant personal and reputational harm
- Ongoing supervision or parole conditions
Even before your matter reaches court, you may face restrictive bail conditions that affect where you live, who you can speak to, and whether you can return to work.
Why Early Legal Advice Matters
If you’ve been contacted by police or believe an allegation may be made against you, don’t wait until formal charges are laid. The early stages are often the most critical.
We can help you:
- Understand your rights and obligations
- Advise whether or not to speak with police
- Review evidence and identify gaps or weaknesses in the case
- Begin building a defence strategy immediately
- Minimise reputational damage and legal risk
Rana Lawyers is here to guide you through every step with clarity, compassion, and expertise.
Common Defence Strategies
Each case is unique. Depending on the circumstances, your defence may include:
- Consent (where the law allows this as a defence)
- Mistaken identity or false accusation
- Lack of intent or misunderstanding
- No evidence of the alleged act
- Procedural errors in the investigation
We’ll review the evidence in detail and collaborate with barristers, digital forensics experts, and medical professionals where needed to strengthen your case.
