How long will I go to jail for a sex crime conviction?

Altman & Altman, LLP

If you are convicted of a sex crime in Massachusetts, how much time you end up serving, if any, depends on a few things. First and foremost, the circumstances of the case. Was there a weapon involved? Was it rape? Was it indecent assault and battery? How old was the victim? What is the relationship between the victim and the defendant? Those types of things. It's also going to depend upon your defense, frankly, because whatever you have brought to your defense, and played out during the case and presented to the judge, the judge is going to take all those things into account when determining sentencing.

How long does a sex offender registration last?

Altman & Altman, LLP

If you’re convicted of a sex crime in Massachusetts you will have to register on the sex offender registry. How long you will have to register depends on the circumstances, and particularly, what offense you were convicted of. Also, your prior record. There’s often a hearing if you challenge where they want to post you in terms of the tiers, or the levels of sex offenders, which also determines how long you’ll have to do it. You have the right to counsel to represent you and I would advise that you do that. But, it depends on those circumstances what level. It can be anywhere from the rest of your life to a much shorter time. I’m Sam Goldberg, Lead Counsel for criminal defense matters at Altman & Altman in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
