The law has broken down rape into a number of categories of sex related offences. These include the offences of sexual assault, indecent assault and aggravated sexual assault. Sex related offences form a specialized area of criminal law. Our Sydney Criminal Lawyers have extensive experience defending clients charged with a range of sex related offences, including offences against minors. Our principled Criminal Lawyers approach such matters in professional manner, with a focus on delivering unbiased and quality legal advice and assistance.
The law provides for a number of offences that are categorized as offences in the nature of rape and relating to other acts of sexual assault. These include:
- sexual assault
- aggravated sexual assault
- aggravated sexual assault in company
- assault with intent to have sexual intercourse
- indecent assault
- aggravated indecent assault
- act of indecency
- aggravated act of indecency
- sexual intercourse with child under 10
- sexual intercourse with child between 10 and 16
The term ‘aggravated’ refers to the offence being more serious due to the criminal sex activity having been exacerbated by factors such as the victim’s age, mental or physical condition, or the relationship between the accused and the complainant such as family member or a person in authority.
Sex related offences are extremely serious crimes, and the law takes a very firm position in relation to sentencing. The maximum terms of imprisonment and non-parole periods prescribed by the law are very serious and substantial. Obtaining the services of an experienced Criminal Lawyer is vital.
