Sexual Assault – Curry College

Criminal Defense and Title IX Representation for Students

A sexual assault allegation is one of the most serious accusations a Curry College student can face. These cases often involve alcohol, dorm settings, dating relationships, or misunderstandings about consent. The consequences can be immediate and devastating, including felony charges, removal from housing, no-contact orders, and permanent academic and professional damage.

Me and my team here at the Law Offices of Kensley Barrett provide discreet, strategic defense for Curry College students accused of sexual assault. I represent students in Quincy District Court and guide them through Curry College's Title IX and disciplinary process to protect their rights, education, and future.

Massachusetts Sexual Assault Laws

M.G.L. c. 265 §§ 13B, 22, 23

Massachusetts law classifies sexual assault offenses as serious felonies. Common charges involving college students include:

Indecent Assault and Battery (§ 13B): Non-consensual sexual touching
Rape (§ 22): Sexual intercourse without consent, including cases involving force, threat, or incapacitation
Statutory Rape (§ 23): Sexual activity involving an underage person

These charges carry severe penalties, including:

State prison sentences ranging from several years to life
Mandatory sex offender registration
Permanent criminal record (CORI)
Long-term impacts on employment, licensing, housing, and education

Common Sexual Assault Allegations Involving Students

I frequently see Curry College students accused of sexual assault in situations such as:

Dorm room or party-related encounters involving alcohol
Dating or prior consensual relationships where consent is later disputed
Allegations made days, weeks, or months after the incident
Reports initiated through RAs, professors, or Title IX offices
Text messages, social media posts, or digital communications used as evidence

In many cases, students face interim suspension or no-contact orders before any hearing or criminal charge occurs.

Criminal Penalties and Court Process

Sexual assault cases involving Curry College students are typically handled in:

Quincy District Court
1 Dennis Ryan Parkway, Quincy, MA 02169

The criminal process may include:

Arraignment and bail determination
Pretrial hearings and evidence review
Witness interviews and forensic analysis
Digital and DNA evidence collection
Sex offender risk consequences if convicted

A conviction can permanently alter a student's life and future opportunities.

Curry College Code of Conduct and Title IX Process

Curry College investigates sexual misconduct allegations under its Title IX and student conduct policies. These proceedings are separate from the criminal court process and use a lower standard of proof.

Possible disciplinary outcomes include:

Interim removal from campus or housing
No-contact orders affecting classes and activities
Disciplinary suspension or expulsion
Permanent disciplinary record or transcript notation

Curry College may impose sanctions even if criminal charges are dismissed or never filed.

Frequently Asked Questions – Sexual Assault Allegations at Curry College

What if the encounter was consensual?
Consent is often the central issue. Alcohol use, communication issues, or regret can complicate these cases and must be addressed carefully.

Can I be removed from housing during the investigation?
Yes. Curry may impose interim measures, including housing removal or class changes, while the investigation is ongoing.

Will I face both court and college proceedings?
Yes. Criminal prosecution and Curry College discipline are separate processes that often run at the same time.
