SEXUAL ASSAULT
In Domestic Assault and Sexual Assault cases, vigorous and skillful cross examination is the key to expose the weaknesses, in the prosecution’s case.
· Sexual Assault
· Sexual Interference
· Invitation to Sexual Touching
· Sexual Exploitation
Government policy has encouraged false or unfounded allegations. Often accusations are made many years later. The police take all sexual assault allegations seriously. We take your defence even more seriously. We will be there for you. We fight against malicious charges. We fight hard. We fight well.
We have won sexual assault cases where the client has confessed, on recording. We have won sexual assault cases where the "victim" alleged that 3 young men gang raped her. We have won a very similar case where two young men were alleged to have gang raped the "victim", and still another where the "victim" alleged that several men had group sex with her against her will. Boggs & Levin has won many other cases of alleged sexual assault. Some of these were allegations from decades earlier. Some allegations were made by young people against family members. We have a lengthy record of victory, defending Sexual Assault, Sexual Interference, Invitation to Sexual Touching, and Sexual Exploitation charges. Don't despair. Don't give up. The pressure is overwhelming but get us to fight for you. Get us to give you the confidence to go on.
EXPERIENCE
We have successfully defended hundreds of sexual assault, sexual interference , invitation to sexual touching, and sexual exploitation. The different charges were substituted for the old and more specific rape charge. This is important when dealing with offences which are alleged to have occurred decades ago.
We had a man charged with sexually assaulting another man in 1994. There was no such offence known to the law, at that time. This led to the original charge being withdrawn and a lesser charge being substituted, which we were able to resolve in favour of our client.
SILENCE IS GOLDEN
You have heard that you have the right to remain silent. You do have the right to remain silent and you should use that right. This si the most important piece of legal advice that you will ever get and it is fee. Never provide any information to a police officer. Understand that nothing you say will be used for your benefit. It will only be used against you. Usually the police tell you that anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.. If the police are talking to you it is because they want to get you to say something that they can use. If the police are talking to you they want you to talk because they need you to say something. Don't. The only thing that you should ever say to a police officer is: "I want to talk to my lawyer. I have nothing to say to you." Say this and only this over and over and over.
