At Shentons, we have extensive experience in defending allegations relating to Modern Slavery. In these cases, we are often instructed by a young person’s parents or carer. The young person has been charged with a serious crime and the parent or carer knows that something does not add up.
We work with the young person and Modern Slavery experts to ascertain whether they are being exploited. Often the young person will deny this is happening to them because they have been groomed or they are in fear. Modern Slavery can be used as a defence in a variety of crimes, including but not limited to; Possession with intent to supply drugs, Conspiracy to supply drugs and Possession of an offensive weapon.
If they are being exploited it is vital that the Court hears about this, so they are not criminalised unjustly.
