Expert Defence Against Blackmail Charges
Blackmail is a serious offence under the Theft Act 1968 and carries a maximum sentence of 14 years. It involves making an unwarranted demand with menaces, often with a threat to expose damaging information unless money, goods, or other benefits are provided. These cases are complex and often involve digital evidence, such as emails, texts, or social media messages.
We will investigate the facts thoroughly, assess the legality and credibility of the prosecution’s case, and work towards securing a favourable outcome—whether that’s persuading the CPS to drop the charges or achieving a not guilty verdict at trial.
