In the dynamic world of criminal law, sexual offenses remain a sensitive and serious subject. Therefore, the legislator has recently – since June 2022 – chosen to impose stricter penalties for certain crimes. The central principle is the concept of ‘consent.’ In the absence of consent for any sexual act, it will be considered a crime. This was already applied by the judiciary before the legislative amendment, but is now concretized in the law itself.
Our Criminal Law attorneys have extensive expertise in sexual offense cases. Together with the suspect or the victim, the specific issues are examined, and various tools are provided – including collaboration with our own network of experts – to address them. This is done both on a personal level (seeking and initiating guidance) and on a criminal law level.
The difficulty in a sexual offense case often lies in the lack of concrete evidence. Therefore, it is all the more important to immediately hire a good lawyer for your case. There are often no direct witnesses or certain traces have already been erased. Acting quickly is therefore crucial.
Our criminal law experts guide you to take the right steps in your case and advise you in the short and long term. With our many years of experience in assisting in sexual offense cases, we provide clear advice and take immediate action.
