Sexual Assault Defence
Sexual Assault Charges
We provide strategic legal representation for people charged with sexual assault or sexual touching offences, from police interviews and court appearances through defended hearings and trials.
Historical Sexual Allegations
These cases require careful analysis of the evidence, witness accounts, and circumstances. At NFK Lawyers, we review the brief thoroughly and prepare a strategic defence tailored to the facts.
District Court Trials
Sexual offence matters proceeding to the District Court require careful preparation, including detailed evidence analysis and effective advocacy. At NFK Lawyers, we prepare every stage of your defence, from reviewing the brief of evidence to cross-examination and clear, strategic presentations in court.
Meticulous Preparation. Discreet Representation.
Defending Sexual Assault Charges in NSW
Sexual assault charges in NSW require careful and detailed preparation. The consequences can be serious, and the evidence often requires close analysis of competing accounts, surrounding circumstances and material capable of testing the prosecution case.
NFK Lawyers carefully reviews the brief of evidence, witness statements, police interviews, CCTV, electronic communications, medical and forensic evidence and other relevant material. Every sexual assault defence is developed around the particular issues in the case, including consent, identification, the reliability and consistency of evidence, and whether the prosecution can prove the charge beyond reasonable doubt.
“Serious allegations demand meticulous preparation.”
