Sexual Offences We Defend
Sexual Violation
Sexual violation by rape or unlawful sexual connection. One of the most serious charges in New Zealand criminal law, requiring thorough and experienced defence.
Indecent Assault
Indecent assault charges arising from alleged unwanted touching or contact of a sexual nature. Circumstances, consent, and intent are often central issues.
Sexual Conduct with a Young Person
Charges involving alleged sexual conduct with a person under 16, including those where the age of the complainant was not known. Requires urgent and expert legal advice.
Objectionable Material
Possession, production, or distribution of objectionable material. These cases frequently involve complex digital evidence and require specialist forensic analysis.
Intimate Visual Recordings
Charges related to the non-consensual recording or sharing of intimate visual material. These offences have been the subject of significant recent legislative developments.
Digital & Online Offences
Digital communication-based offences including online grooming, sending indecent material, and other offences committed through electronic means.
Thorough, Discreet Expert Representation.
Sexual offence cases are among the most complex and sensitive in the criminal justice system. The stakes are high and convictions carry severe penalties including lengthy terms of imprisonment and registration on the sex offenders register.
We carefully analyse all evidence including witness statements, forensic reports, and digital communications. Many sexual offence cases turn on issues of credibility, consent, or the reliability of the complainant’s account. We have extensive experience cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence in these sensitive proceedings.
Challenging Evidence & Procedure
In sexual offence cases, the admissibility and reliability of evidence is frequently central to the defence. This includes challenges to forensic evidence, the reliability of identification, the admissibility of prior sexual history evidence, and procedural compliance by investigators.
Gul Law will carefully review all aspects of the prosecution case to identify every available ground of challenge and develop the strongest possible defence strategy for your circumstances.
