Rape

Rape is a serious crime triable under Victorian law. It may include more extreme examples of non-consensual sex, but also continuing to have sex after the revocation of consent, and compelling a person who is not consenting to sexually penetrate the offender or another person.

If you have been charged with rape, or are under investigation by police, it cannot be more strongly emphasised that specialist rape 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.
