Rape and Indecent Assault and Battery Charges Against Pub Owner Dismissed
The defendant owns a pub in southeastern Massachusetts. He is a well known, extremely successful business owner. Last year he was arrested and charged with rape under G.L. c. 265 section 22 and indecent assault and battery on a person under the age of 14, G.L. c. 265 section 13H. The victim in this case alleged that after a night of drinking with the defendant and friends, she was too drunk to drive. She asked the defendant to drive her home in her car. Instead of taking her home he drove into a secluded wooded area and raped her and indecently assaulted her. Our investigation revealed that she had in fact boasted to friends she was going to have sex with our client, that she was not drunk as she had claimed and that her story was decimated by eyewitness accounts. As a result, we were able to get the case dismissed.
