A sexual assault is an assault committed in a sexual context. In this way, the offence of sexual assault captures a huge range of unwanted sexual attention and behaviour from a slap on an unwanted slap on the bottom to rape. Nevertheless, all types of sexual assault convictions carry the same criminal record and any allegation of sexual assault can ruin your reputation.
This is a complex area of law where missteps can be devastating to an effective defence strategy.
Special rules apply to sexual assault cases and special defence court motions are often required to obtain important disclosure (for example psychiatric or counselling records of the Accuser) or text messages or communications between the Accused and the Accuser. Special motions are often required to be permitted by the Judge to make use of such text messages at the trial.
These cases often involve DNA, analysis of post-event communications or text messages between the parties, evidence from people to whom the allegations were first reported and evidence about the complainant’s emotional state in the hours or days following the alleged sexual assault.
People accused of sexual assault, even if they have no prior criminal record often have to struggle for release on bail and to avoid crushingly restrictive bail conditions.
Perrin Valli, a careful and experienced Guelph Sexual Assault lawyer can help from the bail hearing to the trial and will work hard to ensure you have the best defence.
