SEXUAL OFFENCES | HISTORIC CHILD ABUSE | INVESTIGATIVE SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS
Have you reported sexual abuse to the police, only for the case to be closed? Perhaps there was "insufficient evidence", important enquiries were never explored, or new information has since come to light.
There may still be options available to you.
I provide independent investigative support to:
• Adults who experienced sexual abuse in childhood
• Survivors of sexual offences committed as adults
• Those whose police investigation was closed
• Individuals considering civil action
• Solicitors, barristers and organisations
With decades of detective experience, including specialist child abuse and adult sexual offences cases also managing cases at senior investigating officer level, I know where evidential gaps tend to lie.
I have a proven track record of independent investigations that have led to police decisions being reviewed and closed cases being reopened, with my work contributing to cases that subsequently resulted in convictions.
My work includes reviewing existing evidence, identifying gaps and unexplored lines of enquiry, tracing witnesses, background enquiries, and preparing findings for legal representatives or where appropriate, the police.
Non-recent offences can still be investigated. The CPS recognises that the passage of time does not prevent effective prosecution, although the applicable law depends on when the offending occurred.
A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE LAW
Since 29 June 2026, section 96 of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 (Royal Assent 29 April 2026) has removed the three-year limitation period for civil claims arising from child sexual abuse in England and Wales, implementing a key IICSA recommendation.
Survivors can no longer be barred simply because time has passed, but courts will still consider whether a fair hearing is possible. Evidence matters more than ever. Claims relating to abuse suffered as an adult remain subject to time limits, so early legal advice is essential.
I don't promise outcomes. I promise a thorough, impartial and professionally curious approach to the evidence. Sometimes the evidence is there, but it needs someone with experience to know where to look.
Survivors, solicitors, barristers and organisations are welcome to contact me confidentially.
