Strategy Can Make The Difference In Your Case

Massachusetts Sex Crimes/Child Pornography Lawyer

Sex offenses are very serious crimes, and they are treated as such by prosecutors, courts and the public in Massachusetts. Individuals convicted of rape, indecent assault and battery, or any type of sexual assault, typically face prison sentences followed by strict probationary terms, as well as the tremendous stigma that may come with the requirements of sex offender registration.

Given the emotion that surrounds these types of cases and the community’s desire to eliminate sex offending behavior from society, state and federal prosecutors push hard to get convictions. In some cases, all it takes is an accusation, without any corroborating evidence, to initiate sex crime charges. Facing an allegation of sexual assault is terrifying and frustrating, and the outcome will likely change your life as you know it.

Child Pornography

Child pornography cases can be complex. They are often brought in federal court where there is a different set of rules and procedures. The law that applies to government searches of computers is ever-evolving and challenging. Having litigated numerous child pornography cases and having practiced in federal courts, Kate Frame has the experience to provide high-quality legal representation in this type of case.

If you have been convicted of a child pornography-related offense, you will face registration and classification by the Sex Offender Registry Board.

Having served as a Board Member for seven years, Kate Frame can provide unmatched guidance and consultation as you go through the Sex Offender Registry Board process.
