Krayem & Co. recently protected a 21-year-old client from life-altering criminal charges. Police had charged him with sexual assault and sexual touching without consent. He also faced a charge for threatening to distribute intimate images.
Strategic Evidence Collection
Our legal team acted fast to build a strong defence. We issued a subpoena for the complainant’s phone records. Our team wanted to find messages sent after the incident.
These records were the turning point in the case. The messages showed the complainant had consented to the sexual episode. This evidence severely damaged her reliability as a witness.
The Legal Result
Senior Lawyer Mohammad Wafai and Paralegal Jaad Krayem led the negotiations. They met with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) multiple times. Our team successfully persuaded the DPP to withdraw all charges.
Our client agreed to an AVO on a “without admissions” basis. This allowed the court to drop the criminal charges entirely.
A Future Protected
Our client avoided a criminal record and a prison sentence. He can now move forward with his life. This case shows how a proactive legal strategy can change a person’s future.
