Miles Herman was privately instructed by a client to defend allegations of historic sexual abuse, spanning some twenty years. It was a very sensitive and delicate case, which had to be handled accordingly.

The issue was the complaint's age at the date of the allegations and consent.

Because the client was not reliant upon the limited resources of legal aid, we were able to instruct Dee Connolly of counsel (Thomas Bingham Chambers) , who is one of the leading specialist barristers in the country and who has an enviable record of success with these cases.

Miles and our able assistant, Dan Jones, worked through the preparation of the client's case thoroughly, leaving no stone unturned, and discovered that the complainant was in fact OVER the age of consent at the time of the allegations by nearly a year.

Our delighted and relieved client was quickly acquitted by the jury.

If you are facing serious allegations such as these, whether historical or recent, instruct Lewis Nedas Law for the best representation by both litigators and counsel. Contact Miles Herman on 0207 387 2032 or complete our online enquiry form here.
