Urgent Defense

Sexual offences

Offences against sexual freedom.

Offences against sexual freedom are among the most sensitive in the legal system, both because of the severity of the penalties and the reputational impact, which begins long before judgment. A rigorous, technical and discreet defence is essential from the first statement.

The legal framework

The Criminal Code structures these offences around consent (art. 178 et seq.): there is no consent when it has not been freely expressed through acts that clearly convey the person’s wishes. Recent reforms changed the sentencing framework, so the precise legal classification and the law applicable over time are key technical issues.

Evidence in sexual offence cases

These are proceedings where the evidence is particularly sensitive: the complainant’s statement, psychological expert evidence on credibility, digital evidence and medical evidence. The defence requires meticulous handling of each element, scrupulous respect for procedural safeguards, and an analysis of the credibility and consistency of the testimony in line with the Supreme Court’s criteria.

Discretion and reputation

We handle these matters with enhanced confidentiality: direct communication with the lawyer in charge, prudent management of sensitive information, and close attention to reputational impact, which for many clients—especially public figures or international profiles—is as important as the criminal outcome.

International dimension

When the client is a foreign national or the case has cross-border implications, we manage the defence in their language and coordinate with their legal advisers in their home jurisdiction, addressing implications in other countries—criminal records, residence, registers.
