Under Massachusetts General Law Chapter 272 Section 53, it is a criminal offense to engage, agree to engage or offer to engage in sexual conduct with another person in return for a fee. Being arrested or charged of sexual conduct for a fee in Massachusetts often causes an enormous disruption of one’s daily life. At the Boston Criminal Defense Law Firm of Caselden Law, we understand the difficulties and consequences associated with being charged with this criminal offense. We will work tirelessly to investigate the circumstances surrounding your case and will carefully craft a strong legal defense strategy in order achieve the best possible outcome.
An individual may be charged with the crime of sexual conduct for a fee if they were either paying for sexual acts or being paid for such services (prostitution). Often times, clients are arrested following a police sting operation involving an undercover officer that had been set up to target individuals arranging for private escort services.
If you are convicted of sexual conduct for a fee in Massachusetts, you face a potential jail sentence of up to one year and/or a fine not to exceed $500. Furthermore, it is possible that you may be placed on probation and be forced to enter certain programs as ordered by the court.
