Understanding sexual assault allegations
Sexual assault involves an assault of a sexual nature. Consent and the legal requirements governing it are central in many cases. The Criminal Code requires voluntary agreement to the sexual activity in question at the time it occurs.
Preparing your sexual assault defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The precise allegation and the elements the Crown must establish
- Statements, digital communications, timelines, and available forensic evidence
- Applicable consent rules and limits on the use of private records or other evidence
- Disclosure gaps, admissibility questions, and potential Charter applications
What to do before you contact us
Preserve relevant communications without altering or deleting them. Avoid discussing the allegation publicly or contacting a complainant contrary to release conditions. Arrange a consultation before making decisions about your defence.
Coordinate your Milton matter and consultation dates
Before contacting the firm from Milton, list the dates on your documents beside any scheduling concern you want to raise. Distinguish an appearance from an appointment with a lawyer. If new paperwork arrives after you book, ask how to get it reviewed before making assumptions about a changed date.
Use the consultation to discuss the work proposed, how fees will be explained, and who will provide updates. Mention an existing Legal Aid certificate when enquiring so coverage and availability can be checked. Confirm your Brampton consultation arrangements separately from any attendance required in Milton.
Milton court and consultation appointments
The Ontario Court of Justice lists Milton Courthouse at 491 Steeles Avenue East. If your matter is scheduled there, check the court’s current attendance information. An appointment with Stratton Law at our Brampton office is separate from that court date.
Milton (Halton) courthouse information
Follow the instructions for your particular proceeding. A published video link does not mean you may attend remotely when an in-person appearance is required. If the location or attendance method is unclear, confirm it with your lawyer or the court.
