Understanding the types of sexual offence allegations
Sexual offence allegations can arise in different circumstances, and the legal issues will depend on what is alleged and the evidence available. Lefevre Litigation can advise people facing allegations including rape, sexual assault, sexual assault by penetration, sexual coercion, sexual exposure and voyeurism.
Scottish law also contains specific offences involving children and certain sexual communications or images. The legal definitions and requirements differ between offences, so terminology used in England and Wales should not be assumed to apply in Scotland.
Understanding the exact allegation is an important first step. The circumstances surrounding an accusation, the available evidence and the account given by those involved can all affect how a case develops.
What happens after a sexual offence allegation?
A police investigation can involve taking statements, reviewing messages or other digital material, gathering CCTV or other evidence, and asking people to attend an interview.
Being asked to speak to the police does not mean you have to approach the situation without legal advice. Sexual defence solicitors can explain the interview process and advise you about your position before an interview takes place.
Once enquiries are complete, the circumstances may be reported to the Procurator Fiscal. A decision will then be made about whether criminal proceedings should be taken. Where proceedings follow, sexual offences lawyers can advise on the court process and prepare your defence. For people looking for local solicitors in Aberdeen, Lefevre Litigation provides advice under Scottish criminal law and can arrange appointments around your circumstances.
