Our 21 year old client, was charged with several serious criminal offences, including threatening to distribute intimate images, sexual touching without consent, and Sexual assault without consent.
Our Krayem & Co Lawyers took immediate and comprehensive steps to ensure that every possible avenue of defence was explored. This included issuing a subpoena to obtain the phone records of the complainant to locate messages that were exchanged between the complainant and her friend after the incident.
These records were crucial in assessing her credibility. The documents ultimately revealed that the complainant had clearly indicated that she consented to the sexual episode, which significantly impacted her reliability as a witness.
Following numerous court appearances and extensive negotiations with the prosecution, our senior lawyer Mohammad Wafai , and Paralegal Jaad Krayem successfully persuaded the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to withdraw all charges on the condition that our client accept an AVO, on a without admissions basis.
After a lengthy and stressful legal process, our client was able to move forward with his life without a criminal record or imprisonment, despite initially facing multiple serious criminal allegations.
