Being accused of sexual offences can be distressing and frightening, particularly as the potential sentence for such offences can be lengthy. You need an experienced solicitor who is has successfully defended sex offence cases on multiple occasions, and offered mitigation where possible to reduce the sentence on guilty cases.
In Sexual Offences cases, historical sex offences, rape, or sexual assault, it is usually one person's word against another's. In indecent images cases, expert examination of your computer or mobile phone will be needed. You need expert advice at the earliest opportunity to make sure that your defence can be supported and put across clearly and effectively.

Advice at the police station for sex offences or any other type of offence is always free of charge to everyone and is not subject to means testing. This means that it is free no matter how much money you have or whether or not you are working. For Magistrates Court and Crown Court sex offence cases, we will assist you in making an application for legal aid.
We offer both a robust defence and use of expert evidence in every suitable case. Whether you have been accused of rape, indecent assault, sexual touching or possessing indecent images, you can rest assured that we have heard many different accounts over the years and we are here to advise and support you, not to judge you.

I’d like to thank Paul Watson and his team for their unswerving support and dedication in securing the release of my brother from prison. My brother had some allegations of sexual misconduct made against him, this resulted in him being convicted, after two trials, and being sent to prison despite his continual denying of the offences. Mr Watson’s team continued to support my brother through an appeal which was successful and resulted in the conviction being overturned. The professionalism shown by the team has been outstanding and their knowledge application of the law was second to none.
I WANT TO PUBLICLY THANK THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO FINDS THEY ARE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION TO CONTACT THEM FOR ADVICE. Noelene White.
