Being accused of a sex crime in Massachusetts is a serious matter. Not only does the state of Massachusetts have harsh penalties for people convicted of sex crimes, but your name will be included for life on the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board. Anyone who logs onto their Web site can view your photo and profile.

Massachusetts prosecutors are zealous when it comes to pursuing anyone charged with a sex crime. Penalties for a sex crime conviction can vary. Depending on the seriousness of the sexual crime and whether or not the conviction is for a misdemeanor crime or a felony crime, penalties may include lengthy prison sentences, high fines, probation, community service, counseling, and the loss of certain legal rights.

Depending on the nature of the offense, penalties for sex crimes involving a minor—even if the minor consented to the sexual act—could lead to life in prison. Unfortunately, many innocent people are falsely accused or wrongfully convicted of sex crimes.
