Expert Counsel for Sensitive Offences
Expert Legal Representation is Essential in Serious Sexual Offence Matters.
Sexual offences are viewed by the courts in Queensland as extremely serious, and custodial sentences are often handed down. Given the life-altering consequences of these charges, securing immediate, expert legal counsel is non-negotiable.
These are sensitive and difficult issues to discuss, but an accused will always be treated with dignity and respect when being represented by E&H Law. If you have been, or think you may be, interviewed or charged with a sex offence or related offence, contact our team immediately.
Offences Requiring Expert and Discreet Representation
E&H Law provides confidential and highly experienced defence across the full spectrum of sexual offence charges, including:
- Rape and Attempted Rape: Broadly defined as all forms of unlawful penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth. The offence is gender-neutral.
- Sexual Assault: Offences occurring where a person unlawfully and indecently assaults another, or procures another person without consent to either commit or witness an act of gross indecency.
- Indecent Treatment of Children: Includes indecently dealing with a child, procuring a child to commit an indecent act, or exposing a child to an indecent act.
- Child Exploitation Material (CEM): Covers the making, distributing, and possessing of indecent photographs or video images of real people who appear to be under the age of 16 years.
- Indecent Acts: Wilful offences pertaining to an indecent act in public or to wilfully do so in any place with intent to insult or offend any person.
Serious Consequences and Reporting Requirements
A conviction for a sexual offence carries severe and lasting consequences that extend far beyond the sentence:
- Reporting: You may be required to become a reportable offender under the Child Protection (Offender Reporting) Act.
- Employment and Vetting: You may either not be able to gain or lose your Blue Card. This type of conviction will also have serious consequences on future employment.
If police are seeking to interview you, or if you have actually been charged in relation to any of these types of offences, it is vital that you contact us immediately to enable us to provide you with the best legal representation.
