General Continuance for Man Charged With Domestic Assault and Disorderly Person

On June 6, 2017 Amesbury, Massachusetts police responded to a call for a property exchange at the defendant’s home. The victim and the defendant had a relationship that ended and the victim went to the home to retrieve some personal belongings. During the exchange, and prior to the police arriving, the defendant assaulted the victim and touched her inappropriately several times. The police took a report of the incident and spoke with the defendant who admitted to the criminal activity. He was arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery, G.L. c. 265 Section 13M and disorderly person, G.L. c 272 Section 53. Attorney Neyman was hired. Today, our office was able to get a general continuance for six months. This means that if the defendant remains free from criminal legal problems for the next six months the case will be dismissed. There are no probationary terms and no criminal record.
