Understanding Trespassing Charges in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, trespassing is governed by M.G.L. Chapter 266, Section 120, which prohibits entering or remaining on another person's property without permission. Trespassing charges may stem from actions such as:
🔹 Entering private property (home, business, or land) without authorization
🔹 Staying on property after being asked to leave by the owner or lawful occupant
🔹 Entering restricted areas, such as fenced or posted land, without consent
Key elements of the offense include:
🔹 Lack of Permission: The prosecution must prove you entered or remained on the property without legal authorization.
🔹 Intent: While intent to commit a crime is not always required, it may escalate related charges.
🔹 Notice: Charges may depend on whether the property was clearly marked or you were explicitly told to leave.
Our Worcester criminal defense lawyers meticulously analyze evidence to challenge the prosecution's case, exploring defenses like lack of notice, mistaken belief of permission, or public access rights.
