Boston Sex Crime Lawyer

Criminal Charges of Indecent Assault and Battery in Boston

Due to the heavily stigmatized nature of sex crimes and the serious, associated penalties, it is important that you do not hesitate to find an aggressive Boston sex crime attorney as soon as you have been charged, accused or arrested.  In the state of Massachusetts, it is considered a crime of indecent assault and battery to intentionally and knowingly touch the private areas of a person either fourteen or older.  This private area can include anything from the abdomen, thigh, genital areas, breast or buttocks.

Although this is a severe crime with severe penalties, there are defenses that can be utilized in the effort to protect you from the worst of the consequences.  For example, your lawyer will be able to defend you if you did not intend to touch the other person, did not actually touch them, did not touch them in a harmful manner or if the touching was in fact decent according to societal norms.  To understand the best defense strategy and the best way that a lawyer will be able to help protect your rights, it is important that you act fast in securing legal representation that you can trust.
