Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Massachusetts

Re: Civil Rights for Sexual Assault Victims

Your post was very difficult to understand. It sounds as though you are the victim of a sexual assault. It also sounds like you are exremely unsatisfied with the state's prosecution against your attacker.

This is sadly very common. The criminal defendant will be appointed an attorney if s/he cannot afford one to represent his/her interests. The state is represented by the prosecuter, and there is nobody left to advocate on behalf of the victim (you).

There is an organization in Boston called the Victim Rights Law Center (www.victimrights.org) that advocates entirely only on behalf of victims of sexual violence. You should contact them and explain your problem to them. They help victims of sexual violence through the criminal trials of their attackers, as well as issues of housing, employment, privacy, etc.

Best of luck.

Re: Civil Rights for Sexual Assault Victims

Your description is much too cryptic to be understandable. Its simply too vague and unclear for me to provide a meaningful response. I understand the sensitivity involved (I think), so if you want to respond to me directly for confidentiality reasons, feel free to do so. I will try to help you if I can.
