Sex Offence Lawyer Gold Coast

“Sexual offences” cover a wide range of criminal allegations including flashing (public indecency), inappropriately touching someone without their consent (sexual assault), having sex with someone without their consent (rape), and possession or production of child pornography (child exploitation material).

Like most jurisdictions, sexual offences are treated very seriously under Queensland law and all attract a maximum penalty of imprisonment if a person is found guilty. The maximum penalties that apply emphasise how seriously the law treat these offences – for some sexual offences the maximum penalty is the same as for murder – a term of life imprisonment.
