Boston North Shore Sex Crimes Lawyer
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.
I am Judith A. Wayne, a criminal defense lawyer with offices in Swampscott and Malden. As a former assistant district attorney for Middlesex County, I understand how local police and prosecutors handle sex cases. I 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. As your in a date rape or any other sex crime case, my goal is to make sure that your rights are protected and lawyer that you are not convicted based on he-said, she-said evidence. Furthermore, men who are charged with rape often have more credibility with jurors if they have a woman attorney representing them.
In sex crimes involving minors, 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.
