We're Your Sexual Assault Defence Lawyers
Sexual assault is an offence whereby a person is coerced with force or otherwise participates in a sexual act either without their consent or without having the capacity to consent. Regardless of the type of sexual activity, if the person does not consent, it constitutes sexual assault.
In respect of sexual offending, the law sets out different offences and penalties depending on the nature and circumstances of the offending conduct. For example, the offence of Sexual Intercourse Without Consent is a very serious charge with a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment in NSW. In some cases, sexual assaults attract even higher maximum penalties, for example, where the victim is a child.
