Charged With a Sexual Offence? Here’s What You Need to Know
Sexual offence charges are some of the most serious in Australian criminal law. They carry significant legal consequences, including long-term imprisonment and mandatory registration as a sex offender. Even being accused can have an immediate impact on your employment, reputation and relationships.
Charges can include sexual assault, indecent assault, rape, acts of indecency, child exploitation material, and grooming. These matters are often based on one person’s word against another, but they are prosecuted vigorously and can move quickly through the courts.
