Sexual Interference Defence

Sexual Offences

The charge requires proof of specific touching, sexual purpose, identity, and the complainant's age

A defence begins by defining the incident precisely. Broad allegations may need to be narrowed into when and where the touching allegedly occurred, what body contact is claimed, who was present, and what surrounding circumstances are relied upon.

Historical allegations can create unique evidentiary challenges. Dates may be approximate, records may no longer exist, and witnesses' memories may have changed, making external anchors such as school, travel, employment, or family records useful.

Digital communication can support chronology or provide context even when the charge concerns physical touching. Messages, photographs, device data, and location information may help assess opportunity, relationships, or inconsistencies.

Age is also a statutory component of the offence. Reliable evidence of the complainant's age and the application of any specific age-related provisions must be addressed accurately rather than assumed.

THE DEFENCE

Precision matters in a sexual interference allegation.

Define the alleged touching, location, timeframe, opportunity, and sexual purpose with as much specificity as possible.

Use external records to test timelines where the allegation concerns events said to have occurred years earlier.

Analyze messages, photographs, device evidence, and witness accounts for corroboration or contradiction.

Apply the correct statutory age provisions to the circumstances rather than relying on general assumptions.
