Saugus is a town of about 26,000 people within easy driving distance of Boston. In fact, the entire area was once named Saugus, a name borrowed from local American Indians. Saugus is locally known for having a large Italian American population; the 2000 Census showed that nearly 40 percent of residents were of Italian descent, followed closely by Irish Americans at 24 percent. It benefits from Route 1, which brings customers to businesses and makes an easy commute into Boston for residents. Saugus residents accused of less serious crimes like prostitution and soliciting use the Lynn District court in neighboring Lynn, which it shares with four other towns. Those facing serious felony charges such as indecent assault and battery of a child use the Salem Superior Court to the north in Salem.
Strong Defense to Serious Sex ChargesIf you’re facing sex-related criminal charges, you could face life-changing penalties. Even more than other crimes, sex crimes carry long prison sentences and other steep penalties because there’s a lot of shame and prurient interest in sexual matters. Sex crimes also make an easy target for political figures who want to look tough on crime. As a result, sentences for crimes like child pornography possession can be extremely long, even when the defendant is not accused of directly harming anyone. Even after defendants are released from prison, they may face onerous sex offender registration requirements and restrictions on where they may live and other freedoms we take for granted.
