Of all crimes in the Commonwealth, sex crimes are most aggressively prosecuted. Anyone charged with a Massachusetts sex offense is at enormous risk of having his or her life completely ruined if a conviction results. The punishments for Massachusetts sex crimes are harsh: convictions can carry up to 20 years in state prison, in addition to lengthy probation, court-ordered GPS monitoring (with an electronic device locked on to your ankle or wrist) and court-ordered psychotherapy. These harsh punishments can include registering for life as a sex offender with the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board (SORB.)
