Sexual Interference Charges Defence Lawyer

Being accused of sexual interference is a life-changing event. These allegations are among the most serious in Canadian law and carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and registration on the national sex offender registry. If you or a loved one is facing these charges, it is critical to seek experienced legal representation immediately.

At Raymond Group Defence, we understand the devastating impact that sexual interference charges can have on your reputation, freedom, and future. Our experienced criminal defence lawyer, Tyler Raymond, is dedicated to providing aggressive and strategic defence to protect your rights and ensure a fair legal process.

Under Section 151 of the Criminal Code of Canada, sexual interference occurs when a person directly or indirectly touches a person under the age of 16 for a sexual purpose. The law does not require proof of harm, only that the touching was for a sexual reason. This charge was historically referred to as 'statutory rape'.

A conviction for sexual interference carries severe penalties, including:

• Mandatory Jail Sentence – A minimum of one year in prison if prosecuted by indictment, with possible sentences extending significantly longer depending on the circumstances.
• Sex Offender Registration – Inclusion on the Sex Offender Information Registration Act (SOIRA) database, which can impact employment, housing, and travel.
• Criminal Record – A permanent criminal record that can severely limit future opportunities.
• Lifelong Restrictions – Possible probation conditions, travel restrictions, and limitations on work or residency near children.

If you are facing these charges, time is critical. The earlier you consult with an experienced lawyer, the stronger your defence will be.

A sexual interference charge does not automatically mean a conviction. There are multiple defence strategies that may apply, including:

• Mistaken Identity – Proving that the allegations are false or that someone else was responsible.
• Credibility Issues – Examining inconsistencies in the complainant’s testimony or highlighting unreliable evidence.
• False Allegations – Establishing that the accusations are motivated by personal conflicts, such as divorce or custody battles.
• Challenging the Evidence – Scrutinizing the prosecution’s case for lack of corroborating evidence or procedural errors.

Each case is unique, and Tyler Raymond will work tirelessly to analyze the facts and build a strong, tailored defence strategy for your situation.
