Sex Crimes

Lewd and Lascivious Acts

If you have been charged with lewd and lascivious acts, you need to obtain legal representation immediately. If you do not take charge of your case, you may find yourself mired in the consequences of a lewd and lascivious acts conviction, including:

Loss of Employment
Not surprisingly, most employers do not want to be associated with someone who has a record of lewd and lascivious acts. In fact, even if you are accused of the crime (and not even convicted), your employer may terminate your employment or at least put you on some sort of suspension pending the lewd and lascivious acts judgment. This means you could be without any paycheck for a long amount of time, causing hardship for both you and anyone who depends on you for financial support.

Inadequate Representation
If you are charged with lewd and lascivious acts, you will be given the option of having the public defender as your attorney. We encourage you to instead choose a private attorney. Although most pubic defenders are generally adequate lawyers, the representation they offer you may be sub-par, as they are often young and inexperienced. In fact, your public defender might have no prior experience with lewd and lascivious acts cases; thus, you'll be a "guinea pig", something that won't help you in the courtroom.

Sex Offender Stigma
If you are convicted of crimes related to lewd and lascivious acts, you may be considered a sex offender. If so, you will have to register as such no matter where you live in the United States for the rest of your life. This means all neighbors will find out about your status, and you may be limited to where you can reside or work.

Media Circus
The media loves to discuss cases of lewd and lascivious acts. Therefore, you need an attorney who understands how public relations works and can use the newspapers and televisions shows to your advantage, not disadvantage. (Most public defenders are too swamped with other cases to worry about how the media is treating their clients; at our firm, it's a huge priority.)
