SEXUAL OFFENCES
Sexual assault
If you or someone you know has been charged with sexual assault, we understand that this can be an incredibly stressful position to be in, particularly with the emotional and financial consequences you are likely to encounter. We can assist with both the management of your case and working towards the most favourable outcome available for your matter.
01 / THE CHARGE
Charge information
Under section 352 of the Criminal Code Act 1899, any person who unlawfully and indecently assaults another person, or procures another person, without that person's consent, to commit an act of gross indecency or to witness an act of gross indecency by the person or any other person, commits a crime.
The maximum penalty for this offence is 10 years imprisonment. This is increased to 14 years imprisonment if the indecent assault or act of gross indecency includes bringing any part of the genitalia or the anus of a person into contact with any part of the mouth of a person. A term of life imprisonment can be imposed if the person committing the offence is, or pretends to be, armed with a dangerous or offensive weapon, or is in company with another person, or if the offence involves certain kinds of penetration described in section 352(3).
