Criminal Lawyers Melbourne

Child sex offences can involve more extreme examples of non consensual sexual penetration or indecent activity, but can also involve consensual behaviour with a 16 or 17 year old person, if the person under investigation falls into a category recognised by the law as “care, supervision or authority.”

If you have been charged with child sex offences, or are under investigation by police, it cannot be more strongly emphasised that specialist sex offense lawyers should be engaged to protect you at this difficult time. We know what the law is, and how it applies to the circumstances of your case.

Contact us now to discuss your charges and the circumstances which have led to these issues. We will review your case carefully, and it is important for us to be fully briefed on what has led to the police becoming involved in the first place, whether the investigative conduct is legal and appropriate, and other circumstances relevant to determining whether there are any defences to the charge, whether the matter needs to go to court, and what are the likely penalties.
