HAVE YOU BEEN ACCUSED OF:

Lewd and Lascivious Conduct

Lewd and Lascivious Conduct refers to unlawful conduct of an individual which is intended at arousing the libido or primarily sexual sensation of themselves or another person, open solicitation for prostitution, or indecent exposure of genitalia in any public place or any place where the other person is likely to be offended or annoyed. Lewd or Lascivious Conduct can include people who are living together who are known not to be married or entertainment. When children are involved lewd and lascivious conduct charges can carry severe penalties. If actual contact is made with the victim, this may be charged as sexual assault.

Criminal lawyers know Lewd and Lascivious Conduct, even at the misdemeanor level, can lead to more serious charges and many times results in lifetime registration as a sex offender. The stigma of being a sex offender follows you for the rest of your life and can affect where you live, what jobs you can find and your personal reputation.

Sex crimes are some of the most serious offenses. Lewd and Lascivious Conduct is usually charged as a felony in most areas, and thus it is important to aggressively defend yourself by hiring the best criminal attorneys for criminal defense.

LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS CONDUCT DEFINED

Lewd is defined as indecent, obscene, and preoccupied with sex and crude sexual desire. Lascivious means given to or expressing lust or exciting sexual desire.

State sexual criminal laws vary on lewdness, indecent exposure, child molestation, child sex abuse laws, rape and sexual assault in the way they name it, define it and penalties. In some states, if the victim is a child, the offense is classified as lewd or lascivious molestation, child molestation, sexual abuse, or sexual assault.

Lewd and lascivious often carries additional charges especially if there was physical contact or inappropriate touching involved.

Lewdness, lewd and lascivious conduct, open and gross lewdness or indecent exposure are similar sex crimes that involve sexual activity or exposure with the knowledge that they are in the presence of others. Even if the sexual activity is not intentionally on display for others, for instance having sex in a car, it can still result in a criminal charge.

Indecent Exposure normally refers to the purposeful display of one’s genitals in a public place or a place of public access. Because the perpetrator is thought to commit the act for sexual gratification, this offense usually carries a sex offender registration requirement if found guilty.

LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS CONDUCT PENALITES

Lewd and lascivious conduct penalites vary greatly by each case, but when a child or minor is involved the punishments are much more severe. Even a first time offender may be required to do mandatory counseling, jail time and register as a sex offender. Because these cases generate a considerable amount of social disapproval, they are often highly publicized. Repeat offenders will do much more jail time and experience severe penalites. Here is a list of possible penalties.

  • Sex Offender Registration
  • Jail time
  • Probation
  • Fines
  • Community Service
  • Psychological Treatment
  • Commitment to a Mental Health Treatment Center

LEWD ACT ATTORNEY!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
Gina was like a lioness protecting her cub.

    

I hired Gina and her team for my son who was facing 10 years for something they said he did when he was 17 years old. Gina was like a lioness protecting her cub. She did not stop. She fought hard and was able to defend the charges. We are so grateful to her and her team. They gave us our son. He recovered his life!

Best defense lawyers in the country.

    

I hired this law firm in 2014 for my son who was facing 16 years in prison for a felony robbery. Lina Helou answered all our questions. I was extremely distraught regarding what my son was facing but Lina comforted me and told me that it would be okay. And thank goodness LibertyBell saved my son from going to jail and they were able to obtain only 3 years of probation. I could not have hired a better law firm for my son and if you want the best defense call LibertyBell Law Group. Thank God for this great group of lawyers.

– V. J.
A great team of lawyers.

    

I do not have enough words to describe how incredible the experience with this firm was. They work very hard to make sure you have winning results. I could not have asked for better service from the moment I called, until my case was over. I was glad I made the right choice. Thank you again LibertyBell Law Group!

She took her time to review all of my evidence and proved my innocence.

    

My father had found this group through his company and coworkers. I was assigned Gina Tennen and I cannot explain in just a review on how gratefull I am to be working with her. My case was an accusation of unlawful sex. This had looked extremely bad on my part since I was in a fraternity and she was in a sorority. During these times with Greek life, there are too many bad stigmas surrounding these organizations. Gina had believed in me and knew that I was innocent and that these accusations just were not true. She took her time to review all of my evidence and proved my innocence. I totally recommend this law group because they are willing to put in the work to help your situation.

Gina always kept me fully aware of how the case was proceeding.

    

When I first heard I was under a criminal investigation, I initially thought I would try and resolve this in the best way possible, without legal representation, as we were all interested in a "just" outcome. I quickly discovered that was not the case and contacted Gina at LibertyBell. She clearly described the expectations and the choices available to me. She was always available to me, and when I called, if she couldn't talk with me at that time, she would quickly get back to me. Gina always kept me fully aware of how the case was proceeding. Her fee's were stipulated up front, as well as what those fees covered and what they did not.

Attorney Gina Tennen was on point from day one.

    

Attorney Gina Tennen was on point from day one putting pressure on the sherrif's office to get things handled. With Child molestation accusatinos being thrown around Gina and Attorney Castro were great at keeping the pressure on and had no charges filled. The DCFS indications were appealed and we won with flying colors. Great service, great work, and will use again for all legal matters.

Will Recommend, Total Experience, Awesome Team

    

Being involved in legal matters can be scary. When researching who to put my trust in, I came across Liberty and I am glad that I did. From the first time that I met with Gina and her team she made me feel comfortable and listened to all that I had to say. She assured me that her team would be on it and that they would do everything that they could! A little while in, Alan took over my case. When meeting with him you can tell that this is his passion and I immediately knew he was going to do everything in his power to make the outcome right! He was relentless and worked day and night working on the case. He kept in constant communication with me and truly cared not only about me but about my family as well. I am forever grateful for the support that this whole team has given me and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for truly the best lawyers!
