Sexual Assault

Sexual assault is a serious offence characterized by any non-consensual sexual act or behaviour.

Defending clients facing sexual assault charges requires a nuanced understanding of the law and the sensitive nature of such allegations. At Cowan Law Chambers, we possess both of these qualities, and we are here to provide unwavering representation if you have been charged with committing sexual assault. We handle more sexual assault charges than any other type of charge.

When you turn to us, we will put together a defence strategy that includes a variety of approaches. Some of these may involve challenging the evidence presented, questioning the credibility of the victim, or establishing a lack of intent or consent. We know that the emotional weight of sexual assault allegations can impact jury perceptions, making it critical for our legal team to approach your case with both legal rigour and sensitivity.

In many cases, a sexual assault conviction comes with significant consequences. Some of the associated penalties can include lengthy prison sentences, mandatory registration as a sex offender, and social stigma. Effective legal representation is paramount, and we are prepared to engage in both plea negotiations and trial advocacy.

If you have been charged with sexual assault, we will provide the support and guidance you need to get you through the legal process. Contact our law firm today to discuss your case and set up a consultation.
