Melbourne Lewd And Lascivious Acts Defense Lawyers
Lewd and lascivious behavior is a category encompassing any sexual action in which a juvenile is involved, including child molestation and statutory rape. It is a common charge issued in Florida, and because it is unpopular politically, the penalties for conviction are severe: heavy fines, long prison sentences and registration as a sex offender.
The phrase lewd and lascivious behavior covers:
- Lewd and lascivious battery: Sexual activity involving penetration of a child of age 12 to 16
- Lewd and lascivious molestation: Sexual touching or fondling a child under the age of 16
- Lewd and lascivious conduct: Includes propositioning a child under age 16
- Lewd and lascivious exhibition: Exposing oneself in front of a child
