Charged With Rape? Don’t Wait – Get Help From A Massachusetts Attorney.

The consequences of being convicted of rape in Massachusetts are high. You or a loved one could be facing decades in prison and large fines to pay, as well as GPS monitoring and mandatory placement on the sexual offenders’ registry upon release. Even the allegation of rape can ruin your reputation in the community, regardless of whether it is proven to be true in a court of law.

If you are being investigated for or are facing arrest for rape, call our office immediately to receive nonbiased rape defense representation from an experienced Massachusetts rape defense allegation attorney. It is also imperative you speak with no one else, not even close friends or family members, about your case. Do not speak to the police without your attorney present. This gives you the best chance at a fair trial and the preservation of your due process rights.

How The Commonwealth Classifies Rape Cases

There are three factors that must be present to warrant an arrest on the charge of rape in Massachusetts:

  • The penetration of any body part with any object or any body part of the assailant
  • Without consent/against the victim’s will
  • With threatened or actual use of force

The commonwealth groups a number of crimes in the rape category, including:

  • Rape of a child under 14, with or without force (consent cannot be a defense in these cases)
  • Rape by a law enforcement officer
  • Rape committed in a college campus setting
  • Sexual violence committed upon an elderly person or an intellectually disabled person

Regardless of the circumstances, our lawyers treat all clients with compassion and nonjudgment. Our goal at Ohlson & Ohlson, Attorneys at Law is to build a defense that can minimize the damage that comes with a sexual offense conviction.
