Understand Your Situation
The internet leaves a permanent trail. We interpret that trail to ensure your words are not twisted into crimes.
Defending Online Grooming
Grooming involves building a relationship with a child to facilitate abuse. Prosecutors look for patterns: gift-giving, secrecy, and sexualised conversation. Charges can be brought even if no physical meeting ever took place.
We provide context to the data. We analyse the age of the participants—often, in cases involving teenagers, both parties may be minors, or the age gap is minimal (Romeo & Juliet scenarios). We fight to ensure these peer-to-peer interactions are not criminalised as predatory grooming.

Plan Your Defence
Technical Defence
We check the attribution of the account. Can they prove *you* were the user?
In shared households or growing Wi-Fi usage, reasonable doubt often exists regarding who sent the messages. We also challenge the age verification—if you had a genuine belief the person was an adult based on their profile or photos, this can be a pivotal defence strategy.
Peer-to-Peer?
Both teenagers? We stop the criminalisation of young love.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
