Sexual interference charges are among the most serious criminal accusations, especially when they involve minors. These offenses carry harsh legal penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, mandatory registration as a sex offender, and permanent damage to your personal and professional reputation. At Atlantis Law, we understand the sensitivity and gravity of these charges, and we are committed to providing aggressive and strategic defense for individuals facing sexual interference and related criminal accusations across Ontario.

Whether you are facing allegations related to sexual touching, online communication, or any other form of sexual interference, we are here to fight for you.
Sexual interference is a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of Canada and refers to the act of engaging in any sexual touching or sexual activity with a person under the age of 16 without their consent. This crime can involve physical contact or communication that is intended to be sexual in nature. The law is very clear in protecting minors from sexual exploitation, and allegations of sexual interference are taken very seriously by law enforcement and the courts.
If you are facing sexual interference charges, it is essential to understand that these allegations carry severe legal consequences, including imprisonment and lifelong social stigma. A conviction can have a profound effect on your personal life, career, and reputation.
At Atlantis Law, we represent clients facing a wide range of sexual interference and related charges. The following are common types of offenses we defend against:
Sexual interference involves any sexual contact or touching with a person under the age of 16. The law is designed to protect children and young people from any form of sexual exploitation, and these charges can carry significant penalties.
We defend clients charged with:
This offense involves an individual attempting to persuade, invite, or encourage a person under 16 to engage in sexual touching. Even if no physical contact occurs, simply attempting to entice a minor into such actions can lead to serious charges.
We defend clients charged with:
The rise of digital communication has introduced new challenges in sexual interference cases, particularly where online platforms, social media, and messaging services are involved. Internet-related sexual offenses, such as sending inappropriate messages, soliciting minors for sexual activity, or sharing explicit material, are prosecuted aggressively.
We defend clients charged with:
The consequences of being convicted for sexual interference can be severe, both legally and personally. These offenses are considered particularly grave due to the involvement of minors and the long-term impact of such charges. If convicted, you may face:
At Atlantis Law, we take a proactive, comprehensive approach to defending sexual interference charges. Our strategies are specifically designed to challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and ensure that justice is served. Some common defense strategies include:
A defense may focus on issues surrounding consent or the age of the alleged victim. In some cases, the age of consent may be a point of contention, especially if the accused was unaware of the minor’s age or the alleged victim falsely claimed to be older.
Sexual interference allegations are sometimes based on misunderstandings, mistaken identities, or false accusations. We work to uncover inconsistencies in the evidence, identify motivations for false claims, and highlight potential conflicts in the accuser’s testimony.
In many sexual interference cases, there may be little or no physical evidence to support the allegations. Our team will investigate the case thoroughly, analyzing witness testimony, electronic communications, and physical evidence to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
We closely examine how evidence was collected and ensure that police officers followed proper procedures. If we identify any Charter violations, such as unlawful searches or improper detentions, we will work to have the evidence excluded and seek a reduction or dismissal of charges.
In many sexual interference cases, the credibility of witnesses is critical. We scrutinize the testimony of any witnesses involved, challenging inconsistencies, biases, or motives to fabricate false accusations.

Allegations involving sexual interference or contact with a minor are among the most serious in the Criminal Code. Because these cases involve protected persons, they are prosecuted with significant resources and often carry mandatory minimum sentences or a strong presumption of incarceration.
At Atlantis Law, we understand that these charges can be devastating to an individual’s personal and professional life long before a trial even begins. We provide a highly discreet, technical, and vigorous defence designed to protect your rights and ensure that accusations are tested against the highest standards of evidence.
We represent clients facing a variety of sensitive allegations, including:
Cases involving minors require a specialized skill set. The testimony of young complainants is subject to specific rules of evidence, and the digital trail in communication cases requires expert analysis.

We provide a barrier between you and the weight of the justice system, offering professional guidance and a detail-focused strategy grounded in years of courtroom experience.
