You Need Discreet, Aggressive Defense—Now.

Being charged with a sex crime in Massachusetts is one of the most serious legal situations a person can face. The consequences go far beyond jail time—they can include mandatory sex offender registration, a lifetime criminal record, loss of employment, strained family relationships, and devastating public stigma.

At DeGiacomo & Mikhlin, P.C., we provide confidential, nonjudgmental, and strategic legal defense for clients accused of sex crimes across Massachusetts. We understand how much is at stake—and we’re here to help you navigate the process, fight the allegations, and protect your future.

We Defend Against All Sex Crime Charges in Massachusetts

We handle a wide range of charges, including:

• Rape and Aggravated Rape (G.L. c. 265 §§ 22, 22A)
• Indecent Assault and Battery
• Statutory Rape
• Possession or Distribution of Child Pornography
• Enticement of a Minor
• Sexual Conduct for a Fee (Prostitution/Solicitation)
• Open and Gross Lewdness
• Failure to Register as a Sex Offender

Whether you’ve been formally charged or are under investigation, early legal intervention can significantly affect the outcome. Many of these cases turn on credibility, cross-examination, and forensic evidence—and we’re prepared to challenge it all.

What’s at Stake in a Massachusetts Sex Crime Case

Depending on the charge, penalties may include:

• Felony or misdemeanor conviction
• Mandatory state prison sentences (particularly for rape or child pornography)
• Lifetime registration with the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB)
• GPS monitoring, probation, or parole restrictions
• No-contact orders or stay-away zones
• Loss of parental rights, professional licenses, and immigration eligibility

In many cases, the accusation alone can damage reputations, careers, and families. That’s why we approach every case with urgency, discretion, and aggressive strategy.

How We Defend Sex Crime Allegations in Massachusetts

Our job is to challenge the evidence—and protect your presumption of innocence.

We regularly pursue:

• Motions to suppress illegally obtained statements or searches
• Expert analysis of forensic and digital evidence
• Challenging DNA or medical reports
• Cross-examination of complaining witnesses and their credibility
• Evaluating consent, mistaken identity, or motive to fabricate
• Pre-charge representation to avoid formal indictment
• Negotiated outcomes that avoid sex offender registration when possible

We also work with private investigators, digital analysts, and forensic experts to uncover the full picture—not just what the prosecution wants to show.

FAQs – Massachusetts Sex Crimes Defense

Do I have to register as a sex offender if I’m charged?
Not automatically. Some charges carry mandatory registration upon conviction, but others may be resolved through CWOFs or lesser pleas that avoid registration. Early strategy is key.

Will this affect my job or professional license?
Absolutely. Many employers run CORI checks, and licensing boards take sex crime allegations seriously. We work to resolve cases discreetly and protect your reputation.

Can I be arrested based on someone’s word alone?
Yes—but that doesn’t mean a conviction will follow. These cases often come down to credibility, evidence, and strategy. We’ve won cases by exposing false or unsupported accusations.
