What is sexual assault?

Sexual assault occurs when a sexual act is performed toward another person without that person’s consent. These are serious offences that require urgent legal attention, and experienced sexual assault lawyers can help you understand the charges and your legal rights.

The different types of sexual offences include:

  • Rape
  • Unwanted sexual touching
  • Indecent treatment of minors
  • Unlawful carnal knowledge
  • Incest
  • Distribution of intimate images
  • Sexual harassment
  • Possession of child exploitation material (such as child pornography)
  • Grooming

While sexual assault falls under criminal law, these types of cases do differ in part from other criminal law cases – especially if children are involved in some way.

Sexual assaults are complex cases and crimes that can result in significant penalties and repercussions. It is important the client’s know their rights early and understand how the Police obtain evidence in these cases. Seeking help from experienced sex offence lawyers can be vital in these cases.

To navigate the complex process and criminal justice system, you will need an experienced criminal lawyer specialising in defending sexual offences. Here at Fisher Dore, our sexual assault lawyers can offer you just that. 

The maximum penalty for sexual assault charges is 10 years maximum imprisonment, though in some cases the maximum is 14 years. However, due to the nature of these cases, it is difficult to determine a specific case’s penalty at face value, making the need to seek professional help form an experienced sexual assault lawyer even more vital.

When it comes to sentencing in sexual assault cases, the court will impose its decision based on a number of factors, including the severity of the assault, the victim’s age, whether there were any aggravating or mitigating factors, and the accused’s previous criminal history. Skilled sexual assault charge lawyers can help ensure that your rights are protected and that every relevant detail is presented in your defence.

Defending rape or sexual assault allegations requires urgent and specialist legal skill and knowledge. There are a number of defences available, including mistake of fact, consent or alibi evidence. Your sexual assault lawyer will be able to discuss your defence options further with you during a confidential consultation.

Dont take our word for it, here’s what our clients have had to say...

From the outset Nick was wonderful in assisting my son – empathetic, positive, pragmatic and knowledgeable. He demonstrated considerable expertise in handling the matter – knowing what approach to take, and tone to adopt, with the authorities. We were delighted with the eventual outcome and couldn’t recommend Nick highly enough.

Adam steered us through the worst period of our lives, with amazing patience and understand. We where not the easiest clients in the world but he was always there for us. He was some how able to achieve a resolution that I am still shocked at. Adam and the team he assembled saved our family, we can never thank him enough.

Michael was very professional, reassuring and under my instruction, put my best interests first. I couldn’t be happier with the results and if for any reason my friends or family needed a lawyer, I would definitely recommend Michael.
