2CRIMINAL LAW
Introduction:
I am appointed as the solicitor of Mr. Suprendo and in this brief; certain grounds have
been prepared by me that can use as a defence for him. Mr. Suprendo is a hypnotherapist and
operating his business in Yorktown. One of his client Bella Mondi had alleged that he
committed rape, published false advertisement and threatened her to assault. After studying
the facts of the case, certain things have been cropped up. It is important to assess the
criminal liability of Mr. Suprendo. Criminal liability can assess through the intention,
recklessness and acts of the offender1. However, it is important to discuss all the legal issues
and legal provisions relating to the case and criminal liability of Mr. Suprendo.

Legal issues:
The legal issues arising from the case are:
a) Whether Mr. Suprendo had committed rape or not.
b) Whether he can be liable for threat and criminal intimidation or not.
c) Whether he can be liable for false advertisement or not.
d) Whether there are any evidences collected that supports the allegations of Bella
Mondi or not.
According to Sexual Offence Act 2003, if any person intentionally and forcibly commits
sexual intercourse to a person, he will be charged under the offence of rape2. The crime
relating to rape is under the criteria of statutory offence in England and Wales. According to
