Defending serious allegations with discretion and expertise.

Expert advice and support throughout the legal process

There exists a wide range of sexual offences in Jersey law, including rape, sexual touching without consent and making, possessing and distributing indecent images.  All sexual offences are serious and, if convicted, an individual will ordinarily receive a custodial sentence.  Allegations of sexual offences can be among the most serious and distressing criminal matters an individual can face.   Whatever charge you face, our team is here to advise and support you throughout the process.
