Indecent Assault and Battery (on a person 14 or older) alleges an intentional, non-consensual touching that the law considers “indecent.” In practice, these cases often turn on credibility, context, and details. Common defense angles include:

1. Consent / lack of force – We scrutinize messages, timing, social interactions, and witness accounts that show misunderstanding or consensual contact.
2. False or mistaken accusations – Motive, inconsistencies, delayed reports, and third-party bias can eclipse reasonable doubt. We methodically develop these issues.
3. Memory & perception – Alcohol, lighting, crowding, or stress can distort memory. Expert-informed cross-examination matters.
4. Police procedure gaps – Incomplete interviews, missing video, suggestive identification methods, or sloppy evidence handling can suppress or undermine proof.
5. Digital evidence – Texts, DMs, location data, and call logs often tell a fuller story. We move fast to preserve it.

DelSignore Law approach: build a trial-ready file from day one—so the Commonwealth sees the weaknesses in its case early, and we have leverage for dismissals or charge reductions.

Attorney DelSignore regularly appear regularly in Woburn and know the local practices, from clerk’s sessions to trial assignment. Here’s the roadmap:

1. Arraignment – At the arraignment, it is possible the alleged victim will be present and or her family; do not have any contact with them. Dress your best for the arraignment business attire. If you have little or no record, you will likely be released without bail or a minimal cash bail. However, you may face conditions of release when you face a serious charge like indecent assault and battery or sexual assault offense.
2. If the charge is Rape, you will likely have to post some bail. In additional to potential bail issues, there will likely be conditions of release that if you violate would result in you potentially being held without bail. The most common condition would be stay away from the alleged victim; other conditions could include counseling or alcohol free if appropriate.
3. Pretrial conference – A charge of indecent assault and battery will likely involve numerous pretrial conferences as many times are motions and requests for documents filed that are necessary to prepare the case for trial.
4. Motions – an Indecent Assault and Battery may involve motions to suppress identification and or statements if you made any incriminating statements without being read your Miranda warnings.
5. Negotiation posture – Because we prepare for trial, we can credibly seek dismissals, continuances without a finding (where legally available), or alternative resolutions that avoid a conviction.
6. Trial – If trial is the best path, we pick a jury with care and present the defense through precise cross-examination, timeline reconstruction, digital exhibits, and tailored jury instructions.

An Indecent Assault and Battery accusation can threaten your employment, licensing, and reputation. A conviction may carry sex-offender registration and other serious consequences. That’s why my strategy is built around:

• Early damage control – Advising what to say (and not say), coordinating with employers or schools when appropriate, and preventing harmful “informal” investigations.
• Record protection – Where the facts and law allow, we pursue outcomes that keep a conviction off your CORI, and later discuss sealing/expungement eligibility if applicable.
• Collateral-consequence planning – Immigration, professional licensing, and family-court spillovers require foresight. I coordinate strategy to avoid surprises.

• Immediate evidence preservation – DelSignore Law will try to obtain any evidence that will assist in your defense which could include any of the following: texts, social media posts, surveillance, ride-share data, and potential witnesses before memories fade.
