What Is Witness Intimidation in Massachusetts?
Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 268, Section 13B, witness intimidation includes any attempt to interfere with:
- A criminal or civil investigation
- A court proceeding
- A witness, juror, victim, or law enforcement official
You can be charged for actions like:
- Trying to stop someone from reporting a crime
- Pressuring someone to change or withdraw testimony
- Retaliating against someone who cooperated with the police
- Sending messages or making calls that are interpreted as threatening
Even if no physical force was used, prosecutors may still pursue felony charges — especially if the case involves domestic violence, theft, or drug-related allegations.
