Boston Child Molestation Attorney

Have you been accused of child molestation?

Due to the national focus on sex-related crimes, it is highly important that if you have been criminally charged that you get a hard-hitting attorney that you can rely on.  At our firm, we have a full-bodied understanding of Massachusetts law and are prepared to help our clients in every way possible.  Per Massachusetts child abuse laws, it is considered to be a criminal offense to physically and/or emotionally abuse a child.  Any act that is made to cause harm to either a child's health or welfare could be considered child abuse.  This includes sexual acts.

Child sex crimes are an extremely serious criminal accusation.  If you are successfully convicted, you will find that you are facing penalties that include the possibility of incarceration, monetary fines and could even include the requirement to register as an official sex offender.  This is nothing to take lightly as it could impact your life both personally and professionally.  Having that information available as a public record could prove to be an obstacle that is not only difficult to overcome, but near impossible.

Child Molestation Charges: Failure to Report

In some cases, you do not even need to be the person committing the abuse to receive the backlash.  As Massachusetts takes these crimes so seriously, they also place focus on those who knew about the child abuse but made no efforts to stop it.  Some of those who are mandated to report child abuse should they have reasonable cause to believe the child is suffering include, but is not limited to:

• Physicians and hospital personnel;
• School teachers;
• Counselors;
• Probation/parole officers;
• Social workers;
• Clergy; and
• Foster parents

It, however, is considered to be the responsibility of any adult around the child to report any suspicious behavior.  If it is not reported to the Department of Social Services, they could be facing serious accusations and the possibility of monetary fines that reach up to $1000.
