Boston Sexual Assault Defense Lawyers
Pursuing Justice for People Charged With Indecent Assault and Battery
Sexual assault is a broad term used to describe any unwanted sexual contact or threat. It may include a discreet action such as fondling a co-worker in the office, or something more overt like forced sexual intercourse. Whatever the situation, the consequences of conviction are severe. A convicted offender may be sentenced to several years in prison and be forced to register on the public sex offender registry.
Providing a strong defense against sex crime allegations requires a firm command of the legal system. Additionally, your criminal defense lawyer often must successfully overcome public and prosecution bias against alleged offenders. It can be challenging to negotiate a plea bargain when the public assumes guilt at the mere mention of a possible sex crime.
