Have you been summoned to court after being charged with rape or sexual assault? If you need specialist representation, our Worksop rape solicitors can defend you in court.
If you've been arrested after being accused of rape and are facing criminal charges as a result, our specialist sexual offence team can offer expert legal advice tailored to your individual situation. We understand how distressing an allegation of rape can be and recommend you seek legal representation as soon as possible to ensure we can prepare a solid defence in the event of a court appearance.
With allegations of rape, consent is key and the following situations would be indicative of non-consent:
Being asleep or unconcious
Administering a substance in an attempt to stupefy or overpower
Being violent or threatening violence
Unlawful detainment
Taking advantage of a disability that inhibits communication or consent
If convicted for rape, you could be facing a prison sentence of 5 years minimum where no aggravating features are present; 8 years minimum if aggravating features are present. Whatever your circumstances may be, our specialist sexual offence solicitors can advise you on what steps to take next in defending the allegation.
