Sex Crimes
Cape Cod Sex Crimes Lawyer
Few criminal accusations can have the same impact as those involving sex crimes. The accusation alone, even before you have had a chance to prove your innocence in court, can be devastating. Your reputation can be destroyed, your friends may become distrustful, and even your family can look at you differently. The bias associated with accusations of this nature can put your job or career at risk with unfair prejudice. With formal charges filed against you, your future can be jeopardized with jail or prison time, heavy fines, probation, and the potential for mandatory lifetime sex offender registration.

Each crime carries its own specific penalties based on either misdemeanor or felony charges. For example, Massachusetts law regarding rape allows for a punishment of up to life in prison. In general, misdemeanor crimes carry jail terms of less than a year, while felonies are punishable by prison sentences of a year or more.
