Fighting Against Lewd And Lascivious Conduct Charges

Lewd and lascivious charges may be filed against you in many situations. You may have believed you were alone, been pulling a prank or dare, or been “goofing around.” However, when not effectively mitigated, these charges can damage your reputation, career and future.

In fact, some of these charges can require that you register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. This can create lifelong difficulties for you when it comes to housing, employment and relationships. Fortunately, help is available when you contact me, David M. Lurie. It’s important to speak with an experienced legal professional the moment you are charged. I can help at any point in the process, but with lewd and lascivious charges, the earlier you speak with me, the better.

Understanding What Defense Strategy To Take

In cases involving these charges, there are certain steps to take. There are also definite, effective defenses to some charges. While every situation is different, your case may involve a defense that includes:

  • Victim consent
  • Faulty or weak evidence
  • Mistaken identity
  • Your state of mental health

The specific options available will depend on the details of your case.

Knowing What’s At Stake

If you are charged with having participated in public sexual acts knowing that you were in a public place and could be seen by others or with publicly exposing a sex organ to someone who is not your spouse and who did not consent, you could face some serious legal ramifications that include misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the circumstance and age of the other person. The same is true of exposure charges. It is crucial to get help with any criminal charges you face, from solicitation of sex to lewd and lascivious conduct.
