Lewd Conduct

“Lewd” is defined as “sexual in an offensive way” and a charge of lewd conduct can result from any action fitting this description. Common examples include indecent exposure and lewd acts in a public place. Acts involving Prostitution or solicitation for prostitution can also qualify. Lewd conduct is usually considered a misdemeanor. However, if a minor under the age of 16 is present or involved, felony charges may be filed.

LEWD CONDUCT CASES

Individuals charged with lewd conduct can often find themselves in a very unexpected and upsetting legal situation. The lewd act may have occurred due to a lack of awareness of laws or the vicinity in which one was acting. It may have been a practical joke that went too far or an action which was not meant to offend. Of course, illegal acts are never condoned, but one’s intention and mindset is an important factor to consider.
