If you have been wrongly accused of possessing indecent images, using a lawyer will help protect your legal rights. Ultimately, it will give you the best possible opportunity of clearing your name.
While maintaining your innocence, consideration should be given as to what degree of cooperation if any you are to have with the authorities in providing them with information that could assist in proving your innocence.
When accused of a sexual offence or possessing indecent images, it is important that you seek legal advice from an experienced lawyer in this area.
It is also crucial to stay calm and rational during the interview process, which one of our solicitors or lawyers can help you with.
Our team at SJB Legal Consultants can help you understand the allegations. We can also talk you through your legal options, provide support at voluntary police interviews and advise on the best course of action.
If needed, a lawyer can assist in the gathering of evidence in support of your defence.
This may include witness statements, emails, text messages or any other relevant information.
You might also want to consider seeking counselling during this time. Being accused of such a crime is often emotionally traumatic: the right support from a counsellor or associated group can help you cope with the stress and anxiety.
Remember that being wrongly accused does not mean you will be found guilty.
By seeking legal advice and gathering evidence to support your defence, you can increase your chances of successfully clearing your name.
