Accused of a Sex Crime in Hingham?
We Handle Your Case with Strategy and Discretion.
If you or a loved one is facing a sex crime allegation in Hingham, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed—and with good reason. These cases carry life-altering consequences, even before a conviction. Whether the accusation is a misunderstanding, a false report, or something more complicated, you need serious, confidential legal help right away.
At DeGiacomo & Mikhlin, P.C., we defend clients in Hingham District Court and across the South Shore who are facing sex-related charges. We work with sensitivity and precision to protect your rights, your reputation, and your future.
Sex Offense Charges We Defend in Hingham
We represent clients accused of:
- Indecent Assault and Battery (on a child or adult)
- Rape or Aggravated Rape
- Statutory Rape / Age of Consent Violations
- Possession or Distribution of Child Pornography
- Solicitation or Sexual Conduct for a Fee

The Stakes Are High—Even Without a Conviction
A sex crime allegation in Hingham can result in:
- Immediate arrest and bail conditions
- No-contact orders and restrictions
- GPS monitoring or home confinement
- Mandatory sex offender registration (Level 1, 2, or 3)
- Felony record and prison exposure
- Collateral consequences for jobs, schools, and family court
You don’t need to have a record to face the full weight of the system—first-time offenders are prosecuted just as aggressively.
Our Approach to Sex Crimes Defense on the South Shore
We combine discretion with aggressive strategy to fight these cases. That means:
- Challenging search warrants, interview tactics, and evidence collection
- Filing motions to suppress unlawfully obtained statements
- Examining SANE exam reports, digital data, and witness credibility
- Working with expert investigators and digital forensics teams
- Exploring pretrial diversion or negotiated outcomes that avoid conviction and registration
We tailor our approach to fit each case, whether you're a student, professional, business owner, or juvenile defendant.
FAQs – Sex Crimes in Hingham District Court
Will this go on my record forever?
Not necessarily. We aim for outcomes like CWOFs, dismissals, or diversion, which can lead to eventual record sealing or no record at all.
What if the accusation came from a misunderstanding or breakup?
We’ve handled many such cases. When appropriate, we dig into text messages, social media, and motives for false or exaggerated allegations.
Do I have to register as a sex offender?
Only if convicted of certain charges. We fight to resolve cases in ways that avoid mandatory registration whenever possible.
