Our criminal barristers specialise in cases involving all types of sexual offences.
We act for adults, young people and children accused of sex offences.
Our past cases have involved all types of sexual offences, from the possession and distribution of indecent images to rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse. We also have experience of prosecuting and defending historic offences.
Given the highly sensitive and often disturbing nature of cases involving sexual offences, we work very closely with both the client and their solicitors, remaining on hand to guide our clients through each stage from pre-charge advice and police interview to court hearing and, if necessary, appeal. We are also fully trained and highly proficient in supporting even the most vulnerable witnesses as we gather evidence, prepare for trial and cross-examine each witness in court.
