RAPE OF CHILD: DISMISSED
INDECENT ASSAULT & BATTERY: REDUCED TO MISDEMEANOR

Defendant’s 15-year-old biological daughter alleged that the defendant molested her and her younger sister who is 11 years old. Defendant was charged in the Taunton District Court with Indecent Assault & Battery upon the younger sister. In this case, the alleged victim alleged that her father sexually abused her when she was 3-4 years-old. She claimed that, on multiple occasions, her father would play a game where he would lick his finger and run it up her butt-crack. She also claimed that her father made her touch his penis.

Result: Attorney Gerald J. Noonan got the Child Rape charge dismissed and the felony sexual assault charge reduced to a misdemeanor Assault & Battery (a non-sexual crime). His client was placed on probation for two-years on the misdemeanor Assault & Battery and Attorney Noonan saved his client from serving serious prison time and having to register as a sexual offender.
