Allegations of rape and other sexual offences are among the most serious offences in UK law. The impact of a charge, let alone a conviction, can be life-altering. The criminal justice process in these cases is complex, and investigations are often drawn out. From police interviews and requests for intimate samples, to witness statements and digital evidence, a great deal rests on how your defence is handled from the very beginning.

Avoid any contact with police without speaking to a solicitor. This includes family liaison officers, who can and will gather evidence in the case, often without being upfront about it.
2
Get a top firm of specialist solicitors to represent you or the family member you're helping. The duty solicitor or local high street solicitor may not be a specialist in this area.
