Introduction
You may be reading this document out of interest, have a professional obligation to employees to understand the context of the subject matter or even be facing allegations yourself.
Defending sexual offences can be very complex. Each case is diverse and distinct to each individual’s circumstances. One common element is that it is a stressful time for everyone involved and the accused must seek advice from legal professionals who understand how the law applies to their situation.
The information contained within this document is designed to give an accused person specific knowledge about the law in Victoria regarding allegations of a sexual nature.
It is intended to provide a broad overview and does not constitute legal advice. Anyone facing allegations should seek immediate legal advice, in person, from a criminal lawyer.
Please note that the contents of this document may be difficult to process due to the sensitivity and gravity of the subject matter. It is not intended as light reading but may contain information that could change the course of an investigation for the accused.
Not every allegation is true. The experience of Courts and lawyers is that false and mistaken allegations are made and come before the Courts all the time.
Some people commit offences and accept responsibility for what they have done. Others deny responsibility. Innocent people are wrongly accused.
All require and deserve proper legal representation.
