Not Guilty Verdict For Man Charged With Two Counts of Indecent Assault and Battery

In the summer of 2014 a woman left two of her three children with her aunt and uncle while she went on vacation with her boyfriend and toddler. She returned a week later and picked the children up at the aunt’s home. She soon after heard that her eleven year old daughter who had been staying with the relatives was accusing her uncle of touching her private area and breasts while she was in bed. The prosecution investigated the case and conducted two SAIN interviews, one with the alleged victim and the other with her brother, the first complaint witness who also stayed with the relatives. The uncle was subsequently charged with two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of fourteen a felony under G.L. c. 265 Section 13B. The defendant is not a citizen. As such, nothing short of an acquittal could ensure against his deportation. After nearly two years of preparation Attorney Neyman took this case to trial. The jury found our client not guilty.
