What I check immediately
These cases belong to the wider category of violent crime defense, but they have their own evidentiary rules.
The exact chronology is essential.
I analyse the statements, the conversations before and after the reported moment, phone data, available images, witnesses and the forensic documents.
Rape and sexual assault are regulated distinctly by the Criminal Code, and this legislation has been amended in recent years, so the classification must be checked against the current law.
Do not modify or delete conversations
Messages before and after the event can be decisive for establishing the chronology and the context.
Keep the phone and the conversations as they are.
Summoned for questioning?
Before the statement we must know:
- which act is investigated;
- your procedural capacity;
- which documents were served on you;
- which evidence you already know of.
If the file is with the police or the prosecutor, see my defense service in the criminal investigation stage.
Is detention or arrest being discussed?
In serious cases a preventive measure may be requested separately.
See the page on preventive measures.
Contact me before you give a statement
The first statement can decisively influence the direction of the file, and in these cases chronology details matter enormously.
Frequently asked questions
Can I be detained on remand for a sexual assault accusation?
Yes. Depending on the seriousness and the circumstances, the prosecutor may request a preventive measure, including pre-trial detention. That defense is prepared in parallel with the defense on the merits.Is the discussion with the lawyer confidential?
Yes. Professional secrecy covers everything you tell me, whether or not we later sign an assistance contract.What if the accusation is untrue?
Do not contact the complainant and do not change anything on your phone. We gather the chronology, conversations and witnesses that confirm the real context.Must I give a statement at the first summons?
You have the right to consult a lawyer before and during questioning, and the right to remain silent. The decision is taken once we know exactly which act is investigated.
