Miami Lewd And Lascivious Behavior Lawyer
Lewd and lascivious behaviors pertain to sexual acts committed against or in the presence of children under the age of 16. While these sexual acts fall short of meeting the legal definition of molestation, a criminal conviction can still lead to severe consequences and penalties.
Additionally, as a strict liability crime you can’t argue that:
- The minor consented to the conduct
- The minor requested the sexual activity
- The minor’s age was unknown at the time of the act
- The sexual conduct was unintentional
Don’t settle for less. Contact me, JONATHAN B. BLECHER, at (786) 977-9355 to discover your legal options.
Penalties For Lewd And Lascivious Charges
Per Florida’s Criminal Punishment Code, when an adult or a minor commits lewd and lascivious behaviors against a person under the age of 16, it is considered a Level 5 offense. Even if a defendant has no prior criminal history, the judge is required to sentence him or her to at least 30 months in prison and a minimum two years of sex offender probation.
