Frequently Asked Questions about Sex Offence Lawyers in Madrid
If you have been arrested or summoned for a sexual offence, you should:
Firstly, do not make a statement without legal assistance. You have the right to a lawyer from the outset, and anything you say before that can prejudice the entire proceedings. Call our law firm, and we will attend the police station or court.
I am a victim of a sexual offence. Where do I begin?
We recommend you speak to a solicitor before reporting. A well-prepared report, with properly articulated evidence and clear timelines, makes a difference in the subsequent proceedings. The initial conversation is always confidential.
What changed with the Sexual Freedom Law of 2022?
The main new development is that any act that infringes upon another person's sexual freedom without their consent is now considered the crime of sexual assault, eliminating the old distinction with the crime of sexual abuse. This is why it's crucial to have a sexual assault lawyer in Madrid who is up-to-date with the most recent case law, as prison sentences, evidentiary criteria, and case law for each sexual offence in Madrid continue to be adjusted.
What happens if the complaint that has been filed is false or disproportionate?
The defence is built upon the rigorous analysis of evidence, contradictions in statements, and the context of the facts. In cases where it is appropriate, the possibility of acting on a false accusation is also considered once the proceedings have been dismissed.
There is no time limit for reporting a sexual offence.
It depends on the type of crime and its severity. The statutes of limitation vary between 5 and 20 years, and in crimes against minors, the calculation does not begin until the victim turns 35. If you have doubts about a specific case, we can assess it with you.
How much does it cost to hire a solicitor who specialises in sexual offences?
Each case has its own peculiarities, so fees are assessed after understanding the procedure, its phase, and the technical complexity. We give you a fixed and transparent quote from the outset.
How long does a procedure of this type take to resolve?
The investigation phase usually lasts between six months and a year. If it goes to oral trial, the entire procedure can extend by another year or two. It’s a long process, and that’s why we support you throughout the entire journey.
Do you deal with cases of sexual abuse in Madrid, or only assaults?
As sexual abuse lawyers in Madrid, we handle all offences against sexual freedom: assaults, abuse, harassment, exhibitionism, dissemination of intimate images, and offences against minors. Each type has its own evidentiary and procedural particularities, which we address with a specific technical approach.
What typologies of sexual offences do you assume?
We cover the entire spectrum of cases under the Penal Code regarding sexual freedom: sexual assault with violence or intimidation, rape, abuse, harassment, indecent exposure, online sexual offences, and child abuse investigations. Each typology requires specific technical analysis, with particular attention to expert evidence and the handling of testimony when minors are involved.
