What should someone do if they are being falsely accused of a criminal charge?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
First, consent is not a defense to statutory rape. The whole concept of statutory rape is that a person who is under 16 (in Massachusetts) is too young legally to consent to sex. Therefore, anyone who has sex with a person under 16 can be found guilty of statutory rape. Your friend really should do everything possible to hire a lawyer. I don't know of any publicly appointed counsel for someone who has not yet been charged, but there could be some assistance out there that I am not familiar with. I would recommend calling the Mass Bar Association to check. In any event, he should not go speak with police without first speaking with a lawyer. It is far more likely that the police are trying to get him to incriminate himself than anything else. A lawyer could contact the police on his behalf and know what to say, and more importantly, what not to say. He should not speak with the police on his own! If he is charged, then he will be able to get court appointed counsel, if he qualifies.

if you were actually arrested for shoplifting and beat the case, and it is clear you were not guilty, you may have grounds to sue civilly.

Is homelessness a violation of probation or parole?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)

Yes, it may be. First, they can stay in a hotel in the three days between one home and another home. Second, IF you are so concerned they can stay with you, remember you are supposedly her friend. Third, no probation officer is going to violate anyone for transitioning from one home to another. PO are not so two faced that they would call themselves a friend and then watch someone go to prison rather than open their home for three days. Get real.
