2 Women Sexually Assaulted At Massachusetts Library

Indecent assault and battery is a sex crime and a felony in Massachusetts. It is punishable by up to five years in state prison. The statute prohibiting this act is Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 265 Section 13H. To prove someone guilty of this crime the district attorney must prove beyond a reasonable doubt 1) that victim was at least fourteen years of age at the time of the alleged offense; 2) that the defendant committed an assault and battery on the alleged victim. Assault and battery is essentially the intentional touching of another person, without legal justification or excuse; 3) the assault and battery was “indecent” as that word is commonly understood, measured by common understanding and practices. An indecent act is one that is fundamentally offensive to contemporary standards of decency. An assault and battery is “indecent” if it involves touching portions of the anatomy commonly thought private, such as a person’s genital area or buttocks, or the breasts of a female; 4) that the alleged victim did not consent.
