Are you being accused of child sexual abuse? Do you need help with defending yourself from alleged sexual offences involving children? Our specialist sexual offence lawyers offer a pragmatic, discreet and compassionate approach to those accused of child sexual offences throughout England and Wales.
At Eventum Legal, we provide clear, proactive legal advice if you are facing allegations of child sexual abuse. These are some of the most serious accusations you can encounter, and the impact on your personal and professional life can be severe.
Our child sexual offence defence lawyers support clients across England and Wales, with a discreet and strategic service tailored to your case.
Whether you are under investigation for child sex offences, indecent images, or historic sexual offences, we understand what is at stake. Child sexual activity and child abuse are serious crimes, but our team are on hand to help if you are facing sexual offence allegations.
Our role is to protect your legal position, advise you at every stage, and provide the strongest defence available in law.
You should contact a solicitor immediately. Speaking to the police without legal advice can seriously harm your defence. You may be offered a duty solicitor, but you have the right to choose a legal team that specialises in defending child sexual offences.
That’s where we come in. Our team will need to know what the sexual allegations are, for example, if you have been accused of child grooming, obtaining sexual gratification from a child, or sexual assault of a child.
Whether the allegation involves sexual activity, sexual communication, or indecent images, we act quickly to protect your rights and provide clarity.
Our specialist sexual offence lawyers attend police station interviews, challenge unlawful procedures, and begin preparing your case from day one. Our team has been successfully defending clients for several years. No matter the sexual nature of your charge, we can help you!
Child sexual offences are defined under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
These include sexual assault, rape, inciting a child to engage in a sexual act, and possession or distribution of indecent images.
The law applies to all offences involving persons under 18, some of which carry life imprisonment upon conviction.
The law also includes specific offences involving abuse of a position of trust and grooming. Any sexual relationship with a person under 16 is illegal, regardless of perceived consent.
If you are accused of these offences, you need legal representation from a specialist child sexual offence defence lawyer.
Most cases begin with contact from a police officer or arrest, followed by an interview under caution. Your devices may be seized, and you could be released under investigation. The Crown Prosecution Service will later decide whether to charge you based on the evidence gathered.
During this time, we protect your legal rights, advise you on what to expect, and ensure you don’t make decisions that could harm your defence. Our aim is always to intervene early to reduce the risk of prosecution.
The maximum sentence for certain sexual offences involving children is life imprisonment. Sentencing depends on many factors, including the type of offence, the child’s age, and whether aggravating or mitigating factors apply.
Our lawyers understand the sentencing guidelines, the emotional or physical effects alleged by the prosecution, and how to present a full picture of your case.
We also help clients facing Sexual Harm Prevention Orders and the Sex Offenders Register, which can impose restrictions even after a sentence ends.
We gather all available evidence, including messages, digital records, and witness evidence. We examine the police’s behaviour, any involvement of undercover officers, and whether the evidence was collected lawfully.
Our approach is focused on dismantling the prosecution’s case and presenting an alternative explanation backed by facts.
If you’ve been falsely accused or there are issues with the evidence, we challenge this robustly. That includes defending clients against evidence from so-called ‘hunter groups or claims based on sexual communication where no meeting occurred.
Historic child sexual abuse allegations can go back decades. Even without physical evidence, the prosecution can bring charges based on witness memory alone. That’s why these cases require early legal advice.
We carefully review timelines, question inconsistencies, and recover digital or medical evidence where available. Our lawyers have successfully defended historic sexual offence cases by showing that the allegations do not withstand scrutiny.
False allegations of sexual abuse involving children can arise in the context of family breakdowns, malicious complaints, or misunderstandings. Whatever the motive, we take these claims seriously and act to clear your name.
Being falsely accused does not guarantee a case will be dropped. The police and CPS may still proceed unless your defence is presented. That’s why we act quickly to preserve evidence and prepare your defence early.
If you’ve been convicted of a child sexual offence and believe it was wrong, you may be able to appeal. Appeals are possible where new evidence has come to light, the trial was flawed, or there was a legal error.
We guide clients through the appeals process in the Court of Appeal, and the Crown Court. Appeals must be filed within strict deadlines, so speak to us immediately.
