Sexual offenses overview

In Canada, a sexual offence occurs when a victim does not consent to any form of sexual contact or is below the age of consent in Canada. The term “sexual offences” refers to several different charges including exploitation, sexual interference, and sexual assault.

An accusation for any type of sex crime will have lasting consequences on nearly every aspect of your life. Merely being charged with a sex crime can cause financial distress, social problems, and constant stress. However, you do not have to fight alone. Our experienced Ottawa lawyers can review the evidence against you, interview witnesses, and help you build a formidable defense.

Defending sexual offences

In Ontario, common defense strategies for sexual crime charges may include:

  • Consent — You may argue that the sexual activity was consensual and that the victim had agreed to the act.
  • Misidentification — If you are not the person responsible for the crime, you may have been wrongly accused.
  • Fabricated allegations — The allegations against you may be false. In some cases, an alleged victim — a co-worker, jilted lover, or family member — will make a false allegation to hurt someone’s reputation.
  • Alibi — You may simply have an alibi establishing that you were not physically present at the time/location where the crime occurred.
  • Mental disorder — If you were suffering from mental illness at the time of the alleged offense, you may be able to argue that you were not capable of understanding the nature of your actions.

The specific defense strategy your lawyer uses will depend on the facts and circumstances of your individual case.
