Whether or not to comment in your police record of interview is not something you should try to figure out on your own. Police interviews are a critical stage in the investigation process, and the repercussions of how you approach the interview can be significant. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer who specialises in defending sex charges, and we strongly recommend seeking advice before participating in any police interviews.

Be mindful of what you say during a police interview, as the evidence you give may be used against you in Court. The information you provide can make a significant difference in determining whether you are found guilty or not. After all, the police are not your friend in this situation. Their responsibility is to carry out their duties, and in many cases, they may charge you irrespective of what you say during the interview.

As experienced sexual defence lawyers, we strongly advise you to opt for legal advice before providing any statements to the police. A skilled and efficient lawyer can help you with “what to say and what not to say” during the interview and protect your rights and interests.

What does it mean to be charged with Sexual Assault?

a gavel on a wooden block

Being charged with sexual assault under Section 40 of the Crimes Act 1958 (“CA”) means that the accused is alleged to have intentionally touched another person in a sexual manner without their consent, and without a reasonable belief that the other person consented to the touching. This charge is based on an allegation that a sexual act occurred without consent.
