Lewd Conduct Crimes in FL

What is Lewd Conduct?

In Florida, any type of illegal sexual activity can be considered lewd conduct. Such acts are not tolerated by the courts or the public. Lewd conduct may go by various other titles depending on the jurisdiction, including lascivious conduct or public indecency. If the offender physically contacts the victim, the charges can be elevated to include sexual assault.

It is vital to retain a legal defense if you are charged with lewd conduct in the Panama City area. Contact Shepard Law today at (850) 290-2505 for 24/7 emergency counsel.

What are the Penalties for Lewd Conduct?

Common acts which fall under lewd conduct include:

  • Indecent exposure
  • Prostitution
  • Pornography
  • Sexual acts in public

Usually, lewd conduct is considered a misdemeanor. When it occurs in the presence of people under 16 years of age, however, the charges can be upgraded to a felony.

Penalties for a lewd conduct conviction can include any of the following:

  • Up to 15 years in jail
  • Up to 15 years of sex offender probation
