Rape (Section 1 Sexual Offences Act 2003) involves intentional penetration of the vagina, anus or mouth with a penis without consent, carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Sexual assault (Section 3) involves intentional touching of a sexual nature without consent, which can include touching through clothing. Both are serious offences, but rape carries more severe penalties. Our specialist solicitors can advise on the specific charges against you and build the strongest possible defence.
