Indecent Assault and Battery on a child over 14 Chapter 265 Section 13H
Assault and Battery Chapter 265 Section 15a
Client, a juvenile was charged with two separate counts of Indecent Assault and Battery on two separate people and one count of Assault and Battery. The case began over two years ago and after several hearings and investigations a trial date was set. The evidence was strong and the victims that were very involved in the process which led us to one option- a jury trial. However, after answering ready at trial, the district attorney made an offer which included the juvenile accepting a commitment to the department of youth services and in exchange there would be a dismissal of the two sex related charges.
RESULT: Client has both sex related charges withdrawn by prosecution (DISMISSED) and client has no obligation to register as a sex offender and the charge is wiped out-in exchange client takes a three-to five month commitment to the department of youth services and client can return to high school in the fall 2008.
