What is a sexual offence?

The term sexual offence refers to a range of sexual offences including sexual harassment, rape/attempted rape, historic abuse cases and child sexual offences. Some offences carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. If you are being investigated for a sexual offence, the police should specify clearly which offence you are being accused of.

What is the sexual offences act 2003?

Most current sexual offences in England and Wales are contained in the Sexual Offences Act 2003, including rape, sexual assault, child sexual offences, grooming and voyeurism.

The Act has also been expanded by later legislation to cover newer forms of offending, including upskirting, cyberflashing and non-consensual intimate image offences.

Historic allegations may be governed by earlier legislation depending on when the alleged conduct took place, including offences under the Sexual Offences Act 1956 for conduct predating the commencement of the 2003 Act.
