I have assisted clients in the most challenging sex offences cases, securing favourable outcomes even where the case seems impossible.
We guide our clients through every stage of the litigation process, from case evaluation and negotiation to trial representation if necessary. Our goal is to provide.
My job is to ensure my clients get the outcome they need. I do everything in my power to make that happen, and my past cases and experience are testament to that.
There is a wide range of sexual offences that the Crown can charge an individual with, and the legislation relating to these offences is complex. With my years of experience representing defendants, I am ideally placed to advise you on the legal process, as well as provide representation if your case was to go to trial.
My professional experience, approachability and considerable expertise, means that you will be in a very safe pair of hands when it comes to your defence, and my track record is second to none. For the best advice for your circumstances contact Mark today.
We simplify complex legal matters by providing clear, concise, and accurate answers to your most pressing questions. Our goal is to ensure you have the knowledge..
Possible outcomes include acquittal (not guilty), conviction (guilty), or a mistrial (if legal errors occur). If convicted, sentencing will depend on the severity of the offence, with penalties ranging from fines and community service to imprisonment.
Evidence may include witness statements, forensic reports, medical examinations, digital communications (e.g., texts, emails), and CCTV footage. The prosecution must prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, and the defence can challenge the validity of the evidence presented.
If accused, you may be arrested and questioned by the police. You have the right to legal representation during questioning. Depending on the evidence, the case may proceed to court where you will have the opportunity to defend yourself. It is crucial to seek advice from a qualified solicitor experienced in sexual offence cases.
A sexual offence court case involves legal proceedings where an individual is accused of committing a crime of a sexual nature, such as rape, sexual assault, or indecent exposure. These cases are handled with utmost sensitivity and confidentiality due to their serious nature.
I have worked on a number of serious cases involving multiple complainants, and I have worked on many cases involving historic allegations. These cases frequently raise many related complex issues of law and evidence, all of which require meticulous preparation.
I have developed a niche practice of defending carers accused of sexually abusing children in their care. Often, this raises complex legal, factual and evidential issues, and of course, can also have very serious professional implications for those involved. I have found that in cases such of these, obtaining disclosure, and in particular Third Party Disclosure, is key to the successful defence of clients. In one such case, the requests for disclosure led to a decision by the Crown to offer no evidence against my client, demonstrating the importance of professional and expert legal representation in cases such as these.
Because I am a practising barrister, I am able to appear in court on behalf of individuals for cases in both Crown Court and before the Magistrates, meaning that I can assist with charges at every level. When instructed by your solicitor, I can deal with every aspect of your case, ensuring the best possible outcome for you, and hopefully allowing you to get on with your life.

If you are accused of a sexual offence or have been charged with one, you must seek the best legal advice and representation available at the earliest opportunity – especially where Section 28 applies. This gives you the best possible opportunity to present your side of the story to the Crown and will help to ensure that if your case goes to court, you have the best chances of a favourable outcome.

In the sex cases in which I am instructed, I invariably work with Stuart Sutton from Sutton Defence Lawyers. Stuart has a national practice. He has many years of experience in these types of cases and he has a profound knowledge and understanding of the myriad of issues that arise. I can say without fear of contradiction that his work ethic, professionalism, dynamism, good humour and client care are second to none.
“Mr Kelly was an invaluable source of direction and consistency in a very unpleasant case for us. He was able to prepare thoroughly and through third-party disclosure, he unearthed the complainant’s blatant fabrications which undermined the prosecution’s position conclusively. I would highly recommend his services, especially in sensitive and emotional cases where you need articulate and decisive counsel.”
“I was recommended and introduced to Mark through our solicitor Stuart Sutton. Throughout the traumatic two years dealing with the false allegations raised, Mark was a stabilising element. Thorough in his analysis of the situations to be handled, and reassuring in times of my concerns. I was included at all stages of preparation for the defence and involved in making decisions during the trial. Mark ensures that you are at the centre of preparation work and the pre-trial research. Mark says he needs clients to take on “ownership” of the case and to put in “work” on the case. I would recommend his services without reservation.”
