Sexual offences in the UK cover a broad range of crimes, from rape and sexual assault to offences involving minors or indecent images. These offences are taken extremely seriously, and convictions can lead to lengthy prison sentences and placement on the Sex Offenders Register. If you’re accused of a sexual offence, seeking expert legal representation as early as possible is crucial.

What are sexual offences in the UK?

  • Rape: Non-consensual intercourse, defined under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
  • Sexual assault: Unwanted sexual touching or any form of non-consensual physical contact of a sexual nature.
  • Child sexual offences: Ranging from sexual activity with a minor to grooming and possession of indecent images of children.
  • Indecent exposure: Deliberately exposing oneself in public with the intention of causing alarm or distress.
  • Online sexual offences: Such as sexting minors, distributing indecent images, or engaging in sexual activity through digital means.

How can a solicitor help with sexual offence charges, and what does it cost?

A criminal defence solicitor can:

  • Protect your rights: Advising you during police interviews, ensuring fair treatment and proper procedure.
  • Examine evidence: Reviewing forensic reports, witness statements, and digital evidence to find potential inaccuracies or legal defences.
  • Represent you in court: Preparing a robust defence strategy, cross-examining prosecution witnesses, and advocating for a fair trial.
  • Negotiate outcomes: If it’s in your best interest, your solicitor may negotiate with the prosecution for lesser charges or a reduced sentence.

Costs depend on the seriousness of the charges and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates commonly range from £100 to £300. In serious cases, you might qualify for legal aid, which can cover all or part of your legal fees if you meet financial and case-related criteria. An initial consultation—often provided at a reduced rate or free—will help you understand your options, potential defences, and approximate costs.
