Sexual Offences

The lawyers at Tank Jowett solicitors have defended in all forms of sexual offences over the last 20 years.

To be accused of a sexual crime can be enormously stressful, with the potential punishment and social stigma that follows.

We understand the pressure a defendant faces, and can offer the best possible representation available at this particularly difficult time.

This firm takes on cases from the least serious, such as sexual touching, to the most serious, including rape and like offences.

Every defendant is innocent until proven guilty, and sadly, this firm has experience of cases where undoubtedly false allegations have been made.

Sexual offence cases can involve:

  • Complicated issues surrounding consent
  • DNA
  • False and/or malicious allegations
  • Mobile phone evidence
  • Forensic evidence

The lawyers at Tank Jowett understand the need to vigorously defend cases in the right circumstances and can assist at short notice to ensure the best possible representation.

Our client faced allegations of conspiracy to traffick prostitutes into the UK. We meticulously prepared our client’s case over a period of one year, with 17,000 pages of evidence to go through. We interviewed witnesses, and ensured that no stone was left unturned in the preparation of our client’s defence. Of 10 persons charged, our client was the only person to be found not guilty.
The Defendant was accused of touching a woman on a bus. Our client was a pensioner who had never been in trouble in his life. After 2 trials, the first ending in a hung jury, the Defendant was acquitted.
