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.
