Sexual Assault

Being accused of a sexual offense is a terrifying and isolating experience. We understand the sheer weight of what you are going through. A mere allegation can feel like your entire life—your career, your family relationships, and your personal freedom—is suddenly hanging by a thread. The stress and anxiety you are feeling right now are completely valid.

At Jajou Law, led by criminal defense lawyer Lary Jajou, we know that cases of this nature require a very specific approach. We provide a defense that is fiercely aggressive in the courtroom, yet highly sensitive and discrete regarding your personal life and reputation. We deal in facts, not judgment, and we are committed to guiding you through this crisis with candid, straightforward legal counsel.

The criminal justice system is notoriously complex, but the court of public opinion is often faster and much less forgiving. With sexual assault charges, the stigma is immediate. Unfortunately, individuals accused of these crimes often find themselves fighting to prove their innocence in a system where they feel presumed guilty from day one.

The legal and collateral consequences of a sexual assault conviction are devastating and permanent, including:

-Significant Prison Sentences: Many sexual offenses carry strict mandatory minimums or result in lengthy periods of incarceration.
-The National Sex Offender Registry (SOIRA): A conviction often mandates registration, severely restricting your privacy, movement, and future opportunities.
– Destruction of Livelihood: Immediate and long-term impacts on your employment, professional licensing, and ability to travel internationally.

You need a legal advocate who is grounded in reality, understands the immense stakes, and is prepared to dismantle the case against you piece by piece.

Defending against a sexual assault charge is highly technical. These cases often lack forensic evidence and rely entirely on the subjective testimonies of those involved—turning into a complex “he said, she said” scenario. Lary Jajou employs a rigorous, strategic defense to protect your future:

1. Absolute Discretion and Reputation Management
Your privacy is our priority. We handle your case with the utmost confidentiality, working strategically to minimize public exposure and protect your good name while the legal process unfolds.

2. Deconstructing the Evidence
We do not take the Crown’s narrative at face value. We meticulously review police reports, witness statements, digital communications (texts, emails, social media), and surveillance footage to expose inconsistencies, ulterior motives, or factual errors in the complainant’s account.

3. Challenging Credibility and Reliability
Because these cases heavily depend on witness testimony, cross-examination is your most powerful tool. Lary Jajou is highly skilled at conducting relentless but tactful cross-examinations that test the reliability and credibility of the accusations against you without alienating the judge or jury.

4. Navigating the Complexities of Consent
Canadian laws surrounding consent, capacity, and honest but mistaken belief in consent are incredibly nuanced. We have a deep understanding of this evolving legal landscape and know how to construct a robust defense based on the specific facts of your interactions.

When facing allegations that could ruin your life, you do not need a lawyer who will simply tell you what you want to hear. You need someone who will tell you what you need to hear.

Lary Jajou is known for his candid, no-nonsense approach to criminal defense. We will provide a transparent assessment of your risks, outline a clear strategy, and fight aggressively to secure the best possible outcome—whether that is a withdrawal of charges, a reduction in the severity of the offense, or a full acquittal at trial.

If you are under investigation or have already been charged, do not speak to the police. Anything you say, no matter how innocent, can and will be used to build a case against you. Exercise your right to remain silent and contact legal counsel immediately.
