Los Angeles Lewd Conduct Defense Attorney

What is Lewd Conduct?

Lewd conduct is generally considered any act of a sexual nature, such as oral sex, masturbation, or the exposure of one's breasts, anus, or genitals, that is committed in a public place.

Two primary types of lewd conduct exist and they are:

• Engaging in lewd conduct
• Soliciting another to engage in lewd conduct

In both of these cases, the lewd conduct offense is considered a misdemeanor, but even then one can still face steep penalties including registration as a sex offender and up to a year of incarceration in jail.
