What Is Sexual Assault?
Sexual assault is a criminal offence under Canada's Criminal Code. It generally involves intentional physical contact of a sexual nature without the complainant's consent.
The circumstances of each allegation are different. The nature of the alleged contact, the circumstances surrounding the incident, communications between the parties, and other available evidence can all be relevant to the defence.
The prosecution must prove the required elements of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Potential Consequences of a Sexual Assault Charge
Sexual assault allegations can have significant legal and personal consequences.
Depending on the circumstances and outcome of the case, consequences may include:
The potential consequences depend on the specific circumstances, the nature of the allegations, the available evidence, the accused's background, and other aggravating or mitigating factors.
Defending a Sexual Assault Charge
Sexual assault cases require careful and detailed analysis. We examine the prosecution's evidence and the circumstances surrounding the allegation to identify issues that may be relevant to the defence.
Detailed Disclosure Review
We carefully review police notes, witness statements, photographs, medical information, digital evidence, recordings, communications, and other disclosure to understand the prosecution's case.
Consent and the Circumstances of the Alleged Incident
Where relevant to the evidence, we examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, including communications, interactions between the parties, and the events before and after the allegation.
Witness Credibility and Reliability
Witness testimony can be central to a sexual assault prosecution. We assess the consistency, reliability, and credibility of the evidence while identifying inconsistencies or contradictions that may be relevant to the case.
Digital and Communication Evidence
Text messages, emails, social media communications, photographs, videos, and other digital evidence may provide important context. We examine relevant communications and consider how they relate to the allegations.
Identification Evidence
Where identity is disputed, we examine eyewitness identification, photographs, surveillance footage, digital evidence, and other information relevant to determining who was involved.
Charter and Police Conduct Issues
We examine whether police respected your constitutional rights during the investigation, detention, arrest, questioning, searches, and collection of evidence. Where appropriate, Charter issues may form part of the defence strategy.
What Happens After a Sexual Assault Charge?
Understanding the criminal process can help you make informed decisions about your case.
Arrest and Bail
If you have been arrested and detained, you may need to attend a bail hearing. A criminal defence lawyer can represent you and advocate for appropriate release conditions.
Disclosure Review
The prosecution's disclosure may include police reports, witness statements, digital communications, photographs, medical information, recordings, and other evidence. We carefully assess this material to understand the allegations and identify potential defence issues.
Pre-Trial Proceedings
Pre-trial proceedings may involve evidentiary issues, Charter applications, legal arguments, negotiations, and other procedural matters. The appropriate strategy depends on the circumstances of the case.
Trial Defence
If the matter proceeds to trial, the prosecution must prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt. Our role is to challenge the prosecution's evidence and present the strongest available defence.
Can Sexual Assault Charges Be Withdrawn or Reduced?
The possible resolution of a sexual assault charge depends on the evidence, circumstances of the case, prosecution's position, and available legal options.
Depending on the circumstances, possible outcomes may include withdrawal of the charge, a different resolution, a negotiated outcome, or proceeding to trial.
