All consultations, even an initial telephone conversation are, of course, confidential.
In Massachusetts sex crimes are taken seriously and are frequently subject to intensive investigation by police.
Even if the accused person is innocent, he or she faces negative
stereotyping. Interactions with everyone in their life become strained-
friends, family, neighbors, and peers.
Convicted of a sex offence, you might be required to sign up for the Sex Offender Registry. Your picture and personal information would be placed on a police sex-offender web site which would inform everyone in your community that you are a convicted sex offender.
As soon as you know that you or a loved one are under investigation for a sex offense it is vital that you hire a strong defense attorney. Your attorney can make it much more difficult to gather evidence against you. I give my client regular advice on how to respond- or not respond- to questions posed during the investigation, and make sure my client's rights are fully protected.
Common Sex Crimes in Massachusetts which I have successfully defended against:
Rape, statutory rape, date rape, sexual assault, assault with intent to rape, crimes against a child (both under and over 14), lewd conduct, solicitation, and indecent exposure. I have also defused allegations without any charges being brought.
There are three main defenses to cast reasonable doubt against a sex charge, all of which require a persuasive and skilled attorney.
Deny that any sexual assault occurred. Victim is simply not credible.
The sexual assault was not commited by the accused. Problems can and do occur with identifications as well as collection, preservation, and handling of forensic evidence.
An alleged victim may call an incident rape or sexual assault after the fact, when in reality it was a consensual act at the time.
