Further questions about invitation to sexual touching defence
A separate question from alleged physical touching
This offence focuses on an alleged invitation or related conduct. The absence of completed touching does not by itself resolve an invitation allegation; the wording and elements of the particular charge still require assessment.
Check the alleged date and the charged provision
Legal provisions can change over time. We compare the charging document and alleged dates with the applicable legislation before explaining the case. This is particularly important where older events or differently worded charges are involved.
Court preparation for invitation to sexual touching defence
We start with release terms and the next court date, then review statements and communications in disclosure. The legal assessment addresses meaning, attribution, age-related rules, and the charged conduct. We explain available options and prepare any necessary evidentiary applications or trial response around the issues actually in dispute.
Next steps for invitation to sexual touching defence
Keep your court paperwork and do not alter or delete potentially relevant communications. Avoid contacting a complainant or witness, especially where restrictions apply. Contact the office with the charge and appearance date; ask your lawyer how to handle devices or sensitive material without copying or circulating it.

Distinguish the source from a summary of an exchange
Tell your lawyer whether the allegation relies on a complete conversation, a screenshot, a witness account, or a police summary. Identify gaps you have noticed without altering existing records or attempting to obtain someone else’s private material. The purpose of the consultation is to identify questions for review, not to assume that a short excerpt settles the meaning of an exchange. Discuss any restrictions on devices or communication at the same time.
Questions about invitation to sexual touching defence
Must touching actually have occurred?
The offence focuses on inviting, counselling, or inciting the specified activity for a sexual purpose. A lack of completed touching does not, by itself, answer the allegation.
Can a digital conversation be relevant?
Yes. Electronic communications may form part of the evidence. Their attribution, context, completeness, and meaning must be assessed rather than assumed.
Can I rely on the other person agreeing?
Consent and age-related exceptions are governed by specific statutory rules. Seek advice about the exact ages and circumstances before assuming that agreement answers the charge.
What if I have only a screenshot of a conversation?
Tell your lawyer what it contains and where it came from. Preserve it without editing, but do not assume it is the complete record. Ask how any further material should be identified or handled.
