Sexual offences

Allegations of sexual offences carry profound legal and social consequences. At Kayrouz & Associates, we provide discreet, strategic defence in sensitive cases involving accusations of sexual misconduct, harassment, or assault.

Practice Overview

Sexual offence cases require a nuanced and highly confidential approach. Our lawyers represent clients accused of a range of offences, including indecent assault, harassment, and non-consensual acts, navigating both the criminal justice process and reputational risks.

We work to ensure that our clients' rights are protected during investigations, interrogations, and court proceedings. We assess the strength of evidence, identify procedural irregularities, and advise on defence strategies grounded in both law and factual clarity.

These cases often involve complex evidentiary issues, including digital communications, forensic reports, and witness credibility. Our team works with technical and psychological experts when necessary to build a robust and fair defence.

We also assist in matters involving cross-border allegations or accusations made through media or online platforms, where careful legal and reputational management is essential.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Defence against charges of sexual assault or misconduct
  • Legal guidance during police investigations and interrogations
  • Representation in trial proceedings and appeal actions
  • Strategic advice on media, reputation, and privacy concerns
  • Cross-border coordination in extradition or multi-jurisdictional cases
  • Victim-offender mediation in culturally sensitive circumstances (where applicable)
