What Should I do if I am Accused of a Sexual Assault?
Once informed of a sexual allegation, the police are obliged to take it seriously and investigate thoroughly. Regardless of when the offence took place, the police will seek obtain evidence. This is done by a video interview with the complainant. If the allegation relates to a recent assault, samples will be taken.
Upon receiving the complaint, the police may arrest you without notice. They may wish to speak to you on a voluntary basis. If you are arrested or approached, you have the right to legal representation by a solicitor at the police station.

Court Proceedings for Sexual Offences
In the UK, court proceedings for sexual offences are conducted with care and sensitivity. When a sexual offence is reported, most cases often begin at a Magistrate’s Court. During this, the Magistrates review the evidence presented by the prosecution and determine whether the case will stay there or be sent to the Crown Court.
Crown Court trails are conducted before a judge and jury. If your case proceeds to Crown Court, experienced representation is essential.
