Lewd conduct, which may be charged as a felony, has some harsh penalties. Our sex crime defense attorneys make it our objective to minimize these penalties as best as we can or have the charges completely dismissed due to insufficient evidence or illegally obtained evidence.

Indecent exposure, child molestation, child pornography, and prostitution is considered lewd conduct. To be convicted with lewd conduct the burden is on the  prosecution must prove all the elements beyond a reasonable doubt.

The elements of lewd conduct are: the person intentionally took part in the touching of his/her own or someone else’s private areas; the person had the purpose to sexual gratify self or another; the person was in a public place; someone else was present at the time that may have been offended; the person knew or should have known that a person who may have been offended was actually present.

As your sex crime defense attorney, our duty to you as our client is to gather and contest all the evidence the prosecution is trying to bring in to prove each of these elements.

We are aggressive in what we do and our priority is to get you, the client, the best results possible.

Penalties you may face if you are convicted of lewd conduct/lewd conduct with a minor are state imprisonment, fines of up to $10,000, and mandatory sex offender registration as required by California Penal Code Section 290.
