What We Defend
Charges Covered - Sexual Assault Lawyer in Newmarket
Sexual Interference & Exploitation
Offences involving young complainants require careful attention to age, context, and the unique evidentiary rules that apply. Sensitivity and precision are essential.
Voyeurism & Indecent Act
These charges often involve digital evidence, location context, and questions of expectation of privacy. We review how the investigation unfolded and what the files actually show.
Intimate Image Offences
Allegations involving distribution or threats related to intimate images demand careful handling of digital trails, intent, and consent to sharing.

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call

Historic allegations present unique challenges and opportunities: memory, missing evidence, and changed circumstances. Delay does not mean the case cannot be defended. We build a strategy around the disclosure as it exists today.
Publication bans often protect complainants’ identities. Rules about publishing an accused’s identity can vary with the stage of proceedings and any court orders. We explain what applies in your case.
