Charged with Lewd or Lascivious Crimes in Florida?

Lewd and lascivious crimes represent a huge category of sex crimes that range from indecent exposure to molestation. This law was made to categorize the miscellaneous sex crimes that fail to fall within the other categories of sex crimes. However, because this category of crimes is so miscellaneous in nature and because the Florida court has struggled in the past with defining it, people charged with lewd and lascivious crimes are prone to being taken advantage of by its lack of concrete definition.

Penalties for Lewd and Lascivious Sex Crimes

The penalties of lewd and lascivious sex crimes often result in lifelong consequences. The severity of punishment depends heavily on the severity of the crime as well as the age of the victim.

If the offender is 18 years or older:

  • Second degree felony
