What You Do Next Could Affect Your Entire Case
An allegation of maintaining a sexual relationship with a child can put your freedom, family, reputation and future under immediate pressure.
You may be worried about prison, bail conditions, your employment, what police already know, and what will happen at your next court date.
When you are under pressure, it can be tempting to explain yourself to police, contact people involved, or make quick decisions just to feel like you are doing something.
We strongly recommend getting legal advice before you do this.
Our team can provide early advice that can help you avoid damaging statements, bail breaches, contact issues or decisions that may limit your options later.
We’ve handled thousands of sexual offence cases and will help you understand the allegations, what police need to prove, what evidence may matter, and what your next move should be.
Call us on 07 2113 4440 or contact us online today for urgent, confidential advice focused on helping you regain control of the situation.
Practical Support When Everything Feels Uncertain
Our priority is to give you clear advice, reduce uncertainty, and help you avoid decisions that may affect your case. We will explain where you stand, what needs to happen next, and how we can assist with police, bail, evidence and court preparation.
- Explaining what police need to prove – We help you understand the legal issues, the evidence police may rely on, and whether there are parts of the case that may need to be tested.
- Providing urgent advice before police interviews – We can advise you before you speak to police, provide a statement, answer questions, or respond to allegations.
- Representing you when dealing with police – We can communicate with police on your behalf, help you understand interview requests, and attend police interviews where required.
- Helping you understand bail conditions – We explain what your bail conditions mean, what you can and cannot do, and what risks may arise if those conditions are breached.
- Assisting with bail variations and no-contact conditions – If your conditions affect where you live, who you can contact, your work, or family responsibilities, we can advise whether a variation may be available.
- Reviewing evidence that may affect your case – We can consider police paperwork, witness statements, timelines, messages, device material, call records and other evidence relevant to the allegations.
- Preparing you for court appearances – We help you understand what to expect, what decisions may need to be made, and how your matter should be prepared before court.
- Supporting family members who are calling on your behalf – If someone close to you has been charged or contacted by police, we can explain the next steps and what information may be needed.
With urgent advice and clear guidance, you can stop guessing and start making informed decisions about what happens next.
How We Prepare the Strongest Available Defence Strategy
Every serious criminal matter is reviewed through our Defence Audit, a senior-led process designed to identify weaknesses in police case, reduce avoidable risk, and help determine the best available path forward.
When we receive material from police, we assess the evidence, the procedure, the allegations and the practical consequences you may be facing. The goal is to understand whether the charge can be challenged, negotiated, reduced or defended, depending on the facts of your case.
- Testing the police case – We assess what police need to prove, whether the evidence supports each part of the charge, and whether there are issues that may be challenged.
- Reviewing police procedure – We consider how the matter has been investigated, including police interviews, statements, evidence handling and court documents, to identify any procedural issues that may affect your case.
- Identifying gaps in the evidence – We review witness statements, timelines, messages, call records, device material and other evidence to look for inconsistencies, missing context or unsupported allegations.
- Assessing bail and no-contact risks – We consider how bail conditions, no-contact restrictions or alleged breaches may affect your freedom, family, work and ability to prepare your defence.
- Understanding your risk if the charge is proven – We explain the potential consequences you may be facing and how the evidence, allegations and your personal circumstances may affect your legal position.
- Considering work, family and reputation impacts – We look at how the charge may affect your employment, professional registration, travel, family responsibilities and future opportunities, so these issues can be factored into your strategy.
- Identifying negotiation opportunities – Depending on the evidence, we assess whether there may be grounds to negotiate the charge, narrow the issues, reduce the allegation, or challenge parts of the prosecution case.
- Preparing and representing you in court – We can appear on your behalf for court mentions, bail applications, committal proceedings, sentence hearings or defended hearings, and ensure your matter is prepared properly at each stage.
The Defence Audit gives you a clearer understanding of the case against you, the risks you need to manage, and the legal options that may give you the strongest available position from here.
