Sexual Assault x2 & Extortion

Your Questions, Our Clarity
Facing criminal charges in Theft and unsure what to do next? Our FAQs provide clear, straightforward answers or contact us today to speak directly with a defence lawyer.
Can a theft charge be withdrawn or resolved without a criminal record?
For many first-time theft files, outcomes like withdrawal, diversion, or a peace bond are possible. Crown Attorneys typically consider factors such as the value of the property, whether it was recovered, the accused's record, and any underlying issues being addressed.
A resolution without a criminal record is one of the most common objectives in theft files. Whether it's realistic in your case depends on the disclosure and how the matter is negotiated.
What should I expect at my first court appearance for a theft charge?
The first court appearance is administrative. No evidence is argued and no trial takes place. The matter is typically adjourned for about 12 weeks to allow the real work on your file to happen outside of court, including reviewing disclosure, meeting with the Crown, and exploring resolution options.
If you have retained counsel your lawyer will generally attend on your behalf, and you won't need to appear personally. Most of the defence work in a theft file, including reviewing surveillance footage, negotiating with the Crown, and pursuing withdrawal, diversion, or other favourable outcomes, happens between court dates, not in the courtroom itself.
How long does a theft case take to resolve?
The timeline for a criminal case headed toward resolution is typically shorter than a matter proceeding to trial. In many cases, if the issue is resolvable, a resolution may be reached in approximately six months.
One of the most common causes of delay in criminal cases is waiting for disclosure from the Crown. Depending on the jurisdiction, it can take three months from the date of arrest to receive disclosure. Once disclosure is obtained, the case usually moves forward at a much faster pace.
We understand how stressful and urgent these delays can feel. Our criminal lawyer is proactive in pushing for timely disclosure and works diligently to move your file forward as efficiently as the justice system allows.
How do I obtain disclosure (evidence) from the Crown?
While you have a legal right to receive disclosure from the Crown, theft files often involve evidence that requires special handling, such as CCTV footage or video from a retailer or employer. Some of this material may not be released directly to a self-represented accused, and in-person viewing at the Crown Attorney's office may be required.
When you retain our firm, all disclosure, including surveillance video and sensitive materials, is provided directly to us under a professional undertaking. This allows your defence to be built with immediate and complete access to the evidence.
Our role goes beyond simply receiving disclosure. We carefully review surveillance footage, identify inconsistencies between video and witness accounts, detect potential Charter violations, and develop a strategic defence tailored to your situation.
If I pay back the amount, will that help my case?
It depends largely on the amount involved. For low-value thefts, restitution is often a meaningful step toward a favourable resolution. For higher-value thefts, particularly theft over $5,000, restitution alone is less likely to resolve the matter without further consequence. The Crown's position on serious thefts typically accounts for factors beyond repayment, including the planning involved, the breach of trust if any, and the impact on the complainant. Restitution remains useful at sentencing and in negotiations, but the path to resolution is usually longer and more complex.
Whether repayment meaningfully moves your file depends on the full picture, which is why an early case review with a lawyer matters.
