Ontario Sex Crimes Defence Lawyer · Toronto Rape Defence Law Firm
Next to murder, the Crown regards aggravated sexual assault among the most heinous of crimes. If you have been charged, or are under investigation, you will be facing every resource the prosecution has available to them. Fighting aggressively to protect your rights and work toward the best possible outcome is your only option. I am Greater Toronto Area sexual assault defence lawyer Aitan M. Lerner. For nearly 13 years, I have been fighting aggressively to help people charged with sex offences in Ontario protect their rights and their freedom. Fighting an accusation of aggravated sexual assault requires more steadfast diligence and hard work than almost any other type of indictable offence. The prosecution approaches rape cases zealously. Having the advantage of an experienced, knowledgeable lawyer on your side as early in the case as possible is your best benefit.
Success and Commitment Earns Respect
My law firm has earned the respect of prosecutors and judges in courts throughout the GTA. When I prepare a defence case, the Crown knows it will have merit to win in court. And I have the successful results to back it up. Make no mistake. Knowing who the judge and Crown prosecutor are in an aggravated sexual assault case is important. I know what they expect, and I know the strategies that will work toward obtaining the best possible outcome.
What I Mean When I Say Fearless Advocacy
Aggravated sexual assault cases often come down to "he-said-she-said" testimony. Establishing a solid defence often requires challenging the credibility and reputation of the victim and the police. Fearless advocacy means being willing to stand up and prove that a reputable witness may be less than credible — no matter what it does to that person's career or social standing. I have experience representing individuals accused of all ranges of sex offences at the summary conviction or indictable offence court level, including:
- Gang sexual assault
- Interference and exploitation
- Forcible confinement
- Prostitution and solicitation
- Indecent exposure, lewd acts
