Sex Offence Lawyers - Leanne Warren & Associates

Sexual Offences

Sex offences are a complicated and sensitive area of law. At Leanne Warren & Associates our sexual offence lawyers strive to achieve the best result for our clients. We provide our clients with expert advice and assist them throughout their criminal law matters, in a sensitive and professional manner.

Common Sex-Related Offences

The most common charges for sex-related offences are:

Rape / Sexual penetration of a child under 16
Indecent assault / Gross indecency
Child pornography offences

These sex-related matters require a detailed analysis of the circumstances surrounding the alleged offence. There are many major issues involved in sexual offences including: the defences of; the age of the accused and complainant; and a denial of any contact.

Sex Offenders Register

Under the Sex Offenders Registration Act 2004, a person who is found guilty of a sexual offence may be subject to significant restrictions and obligations. The consequence of such a conviction is that certain offenders may be listed on the Sex Offenders Register. They may be subject to the imposition of reporting requirements and employment restrictions for an extended period of time.

Extended Supervision Orders

In certain circumstances an application may be made by the Secretary of the Department of Justice for a Supervision Order on an offender. If such an order is granted by the Attorney General, it enables serious sex offenders to be detained in prison after the expiry of their sentences, or to be supervised in the community for a period of time. Leanne Warren & Associates are actively involved in defending any such applications.

"Just a short note to say thank you to you and your team for representing me in what was arguably the worst period in my life.

From the start you assured me that everything will work out and quite frankly, l didn’t believe you. l have learnt from you, that even if you make a mistake and ultimately take ownership, not only does it teach you: 1. Not to put yourself in that position again 2. You can be given a second chance 3. With the right Legal representation you can achieve a favourable result.

Thank You for trying to keep me calm throughout this long process. Wish you all the best in the future as mine looks rosy now."
