Short of murder, few crimes carry more severe consequences in Massachusetts than sex crimes. One of the most serious consequences involves the requirement of lifetime registration as a sex offender. For average people convicted of sex crimes, it is the end of their life as they know it.
The Law Offices of Judith A. Wayne & Associates is a law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of the accused in Massachusetts. Founded by Judith Wayne, a former assistant district attorney for Middlesex County, our firm has deep knowledge of how local police and prosecutors handle sex cases. We defend clients charged with all types of sex crimes, including:
- Date rape
- Statutory rape
- Sexual assault
- Child molestation and child rape
- Indecent assault and battery of a minor
- Possession of child pornography
The most common defense in a date rape case is consent. In a date rape or any other sex crime case, our goal is to make sure that your rights are protected and that you are not convicted based on he-said, she-said evidence.
When a sex crime involves a minor, consent is not a defense. Since the consequences of a conviction are so high, you should not say anything to investigators until you have spoken with a competent defense lawyer. If you attempt to explain what happened, you could end up giving police officers the evidence they need to convict you.
