Sex Offenses

Client acquitted of rape and sexual assault charges

Our client was accused of rape and sexual assault by an ex-partner. The incident allegedly occurred when our client stayed at his ex-partner's house overnight to care for their children the next day, as the ex-partner had to leave early in the morning. It was claimed that the rape occurred in the morning. During the police interview, our client initially lied about sleeping with the complainant because they were engaged to another person and felt guilty about the infidelity.

Our defence during the trial was that our client did have consensual relations with the complainant. Our client was ultimately acquitted of both rape and sexual assault charges.

No conviction for client with multiple robbery charges

Our client committed a series of criminal offences while on bail. In the summary case conference, we were able to negotiate with the prosecution to get four charges removed, and our client entered a plea for six charges. The client received a 12-month community corrections order, and no conviction was recorded.

Criminal matter struck out

Our client was charged with criminal damage. Our client suffered from complex mental health illnesses which contributed to their offending and had already paid restitution for the damages caused shortly after the incident. We were able to negotiate with the prosecution – advising them of the circumstances around our client’s offending, as well as the efforts they had already made to pay for the damages – and managed to successfully withdraw the charge. At the hearing, the matter was formally struck out by the Magistrate.

Self-defence argument leads to charges withdrawn

Upon being charged with common assault, our client was able to have all charges dropped thanks to the work and negotiations of our team. As discussion with prosecution began, we raised the defence of self-defence. Through negotiation, prosecution then confirmed that they had received a statement of no-complaint from the complainant, and in light of the position and negotiations, would agree to withdraw the charges on the basis of no-costs being sought against them. Once we spoke with our client and advised them to accept this position, all charges were withdrawn against them.
