Defending Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

There has been an explosion in the number of prosecutions for sex offences in recent years. It is now estimated that one-third of all High court cases relate to sexual offences. These cases form a substantial part of our caseload at R.S. Jakhar Law Offices. Our private client crime department in this area is headed by partner B.S. Jakhar.

For someone taken from their home and arrested without warning to find themselves embroiled in a nightmarish process of questioning whilst in police detention can be harrowing. Where we are instructed at a police station, we aim to make this process as painless as possible while ensuring that your rights are vigorously protected.
Investigations typically follow a standard course. After an initial complaint is taken from the complainant, they will be examined for samples at the Haven. Suspects will be detained whilst this is conducted. The police may in the meantime conduct initial “scoping” interviews of the Accused and then, having obtained a full statement from the complainant on ABE video, decide if they need to be questioned again.
