Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Massachusetts

Re: rape

You can file a criminal complaint and send him to jail where he belongs.

You can sue him civilly for assault and battery. However, there is no point in suing him for money damages if he doesn't have any money or if his insurance does not cover him

Re: rape

You can sue your boyfriend subject to the statute

of limitations for civil claims under Massachusetts

Law. This almost certainly is at least three years

for the common law "torts" of assault and battery

and intentional infliction of emotional distress if

the rape occured in Massachusetts.

You may have a variety of other claims depending on

the circumstances of your case.

I have a great deal of experience representing women

with sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape cases.

I previously obtained a jury verdict for a young woman

who was raped by her supervisor. I have also brought

more than a dozen other cases involving allegations of

sexual harassment and/or sexual assault.

Please contact me if you would like to receive my
