Douglas County Lewd Conduct Lawyers
Lewd Conduct: A Serious Legal Problem in West Georgia
There are a wide variety of scenarios in which a lewd conduct charge may be applied to an individual under arrest. In short, any unlawful act intended to stimulate the violator or anyone else in a sexual way may be charged as lewd conduct.
The specific acts within this type of sex crime can vary greatly and, by definition, may include something as serious as intentionally exposing oneself to a minor in association with child molestation and sexual battery, or other more socially acceptable forms such as flashing at a concert. It can be difficult to determine the potential consequences of a lewd conduct charge without the help of a skilled Douglas Countycriminal defense lawyer.
Individuals who are convicted on lewd conduct charges traditionally face jail time between one and 5 years with probation and financial penalties at a maximum of $1,000. The severity of one's sentence will depend on a variety of factors including the age of the victim, the setting or environment where the violation was committed, and whether any other illegal acts were also taking place among others.
Consequences may become extreme very quickly when lewd conduct charges involve children, and multiple charges can make matters even more difficult.
