Understand the Charges — Protect Your Rights
Sexual assault includes any unwanted touching of a sexual nature — from groping to intercourse — without consent.
The courts will examine:
-
What part of the body was touched
-
The context and nature of the act
-
Any words, gestures, or surrounding circumstances
A strong defence begins with understanding the charge — and your legal options.
🔍 Real Example: What’s Possible in a Sexual Assault Case
In R. v. S.G.T., 2010 ONCA 206, a man was charged with sexual assault after a breakup.
The complainant’s story changed several times, and inconsistencies were exposed during cross-examination.
The judge found reasonable doubt and acquitted the accused.
This case shows how critical it is to test the evidence, challenge credibility, and have a skilled sexual assault lawyer on your side.
Historical Sexual Assault Allegations
Even if the incident happened years — or decades — ago, charges can still be laid.
Historical allegations bring unique challenges:
-
Faded or missing memories
-
Lost or destroyed physical evidence
-
Deceased or unavailable witnesses
-
Shifting social or legal standards
Jeffrey Smart has the legal skill and courtroom experience to address the complexity of defending historical sexual assault allegations.

What if the allegation is false?
False accusations do happen. Jeffrey Smart will review the facts, challenge credibility, and help expose inconsistencies in the complaint.
Will I have to go to jail if I’m found guilty?
