What Is Sexual Touching Or Indecent Assault?

In Sect 61KC, sexual touching or indecent assault is described as touching another person’s body or using any part of their body without consent, and the complainant considers the act sexual.

The act of violence can also include the accused inciting a third party to touch the complainant.

What Options Do You Have?

While facing indecent assault charges, you may decide to plead guilty or not guilty. These options are discussed below in detail:

Pleading Guilty

Pleading guilty means, you accept the charges of indecent sexual touching. Having an experienced lawyer when pleading guilty is advisable to stand a chance of receiving a lenient prison term.

Pleading Not Guilty

If you plead not guilty, your indecent assault lawyer can draft a few arguments to justify your actions.

These defences include:

  • The complainant consented to the act
  • False accusations
  • Insufficient evidence
  • Proof of innocence

If the court finds the defences valid, you may be acquitted of all your charges.

What Are The Penalties For Different Types Of Indecent Assault?

Based on the New South Wales criminal law statutes, the sexual touching or indecent assault charge crime is punishable by a maximum of 5 years imprisonment if indicted in the District Court.

In comparison, the offence becomes aggravated sexual touching if the accused is in the company of another person and the victim is under their authority. As such, the offender gets up to 7 years.

As stated in Sect 61I of the Crimes Act 1900, any individual performing penetrative sexual acts with another without their consent is liable to 14 years imprisonment.

Studies show that indecent assault cases dealt with within the local court can earn the alleged victim up to 9 months and three weeks imprisonment on a guilty plea. However, it must be noted that the maximum penalty for imprisonment is up to 2 years.

Our Legal Expertise Has Directly Led to Clients’ Success

Reviewer initial M
Magdalena L.

For a woman, it is very difficult to deal with harassment, stalking and intimidation. Last year, I have applied for APVO against my neighbour.

Although I had CCTV footages and other evidence, to actually go through the whole court process is stressful, especially because I decided to represent myself in the court. Once I stepped into the legal process the realization hit me that having evidence may not be enough to win and protect myself from the defendant. When you represent yourself, the defendant’s solicitor sees that as an easy winning for his client and uses intimidation tactics.

I have contacted several solicitors but was put off by their emotionlessness approach. I contacted Jonathan Jaramillo from James and Jaramillo Lawyers who offered free first consultation. Comprehensive information offered by Jonathan was very impressive. He listened attentively and took time to answer my questions. He did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I decided to represent myself and asked Jonathan if he would guide me and advise me throughout the process. This would be more cost-effective for me. Regardless of the size of the case, Jonathan was from the beginning to the end extremely professional, prompt and kind. He explained everything clearly making me feel confident with the legal process.

I have managed to get Interim Order in the early stage of the process-mention, which was protecting me till the final hearing in March 2024 when I won the case. This outcome could not have been achieved without working with Jonathan and his professional guidance. I can’t speak highly enough about Jonathan Jaramillo and recommend him for anyone who is looking for a good, responsive and reliable solicitor, and a genuine person.
