Tampa Lewd and Lascivious Conduct Lawyer


TAMPA LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS CONDUCT LAWYER


LEWD AND LASCIVIOUS CONDUCT ATTORNEY IN TAMPA, FL

Sex Crime Lawyer Assisting Residents of Tampa

Being accused of a sex crime – any sex crime – is embarrassing, not to mention
very frightening. For example, when a defendant is accused of lewd and
lascivious conduct, many thoughts may run through the defendant’s head. How did
this happen? Will I go to jail? Is there anything that I can do to defend
myself? Tampa sex crime attorney Will Hanlon at Hanlon Law has many years of
experience handling criminal cases in the Florida court system, and he can help
you understand not only the charges pending against you but also the possible
punishments if you are convicted and the potential legal defenses that may be
available to you under the circumstances of your particular case.

The fact is that each criminal case presents its own unique set of challenges.
Although the burden is always on the State to prove the defendant guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt, and the Constitution affords defendants certain basic rights
in every case, the facts of your case may vary significantly from those in
another case involving an alleged violation of the same law. For this reason,
you need an attorney who will take the time to investigate even the smallest
details of your arrest and go over the State’s evidence against you with
meticulous precision to discover any possible weaknesses. Even the
best-intentioned public defenders do not always have time to devote this degree
of effort to each of the defendants in their huge caseload.

Defending the Offense of Lewd and Lascivious Conduct Under Florida Law

Florida Statutes § 800.04 sets out the definitions to be used in determining
whether a defendant is guilty of the crime of lewd and lascivious conduct. The
statute contains four categories of offenses: lewd or lascivious battery, lewd
or lascivious molestation, lewd and lascivious conduct, and lewd or lascivious
exhibition. Lewd and lascivious “conduct” is described as an intentional
touching or solicitation of a person under the age of 16. To be punishable under
the statute, the conduct must have been both lewd and lascivious. If the
offender is 18 or older, the crime is a second-degree felony. For people under
18, the crime is a felony of the third degree. The types of sexual activity
prohibited by the statute include oral, anal, and vaginal penetration of the
victim, either by the defendant’s sexual organ or by another object.

Although there are some possible defenses to the crime of lewd and lascivious
conduct, the alleged victim’s “lack of chastity” or consent are not among them.
Likewise, ignorance of the alleged victim’s actual age is not a defense to a
charge of lewd and lascivious conduct, even if the alleged victim lied about
their age, or the alleged perpetrator had a bona fide belief that the person in
question was over 18 years old. However, there may be a constitutional defense
in some cases, or the defendant may be able to attack a particular weakness in
the State’s case.

Discuss Your Case With an Experienced Tampa Attorney

A conviction of a sex crime like lewd and lascivious conduct may result in jail
time, fines, and other serious penalties. A felony conviction may also destroy
the defendant’s reputation, adversely affect their personal relationships, take
away certain civil rights (like the right to own a firearm or vote), and prevent
them from obtaining certain types of employment, educational opportunities, and
housing. At Hanlon Law, we have over two decades of experience helping people
accused of serious crimes stand up for their legal rights. To talk to seasoned
Tampa attorney Will Hanlon about possible ways to defend your lewd and
lascivious conduct charge, call us at 813-228-7095 or contact us online. We
offer an appointment to people throughout the Tampa Bay area who need guidance
with regard to any sex crime charge. Hanlon Law also can assist people who are
seeking a domestic violence attorney or representation against charges of drug
offenses, theft crimes, or weapons offenses.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
EXCELLENT DEFENSE ATTORNEY
I retained Mr. Hanlon for two cases... He handled both cases very quickly and
without me present. The end result was all three charges on two separate cases
were dismissed. I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received from Mr.
Hanlon. - Ashley
★★★★★
TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY
Excellent attorney! Will handled my petty theft case with the utmost
professionalism and kept me informed of my options and choices every step of the
way. The evidence was highly circumstantial and predatory, but luckily the whole
case was null processed. I highly recommend Will because of his expertise and
knowledge. - Criminal Defense Client
★★★★★
SUCCESSFUL REDUCTION OF MY CHARGE
Mr. Hanlon was extremely professional in handling my DUI case. His office was
very helpful in answering all my questions. I was so pleased when he reduced my
charge from a DUI to Reckless Driving. It was a weight off my shoulders. I would
highly recommend him for any DUI case based on his high success rate in reducing
the charges. Thanks again Mr. Hanlon. - Steve
