Penalties for Lewd Acts
Lewd conduct is a misdemeanor offense, punishable by a maximum county jail sentence of six months and a fine of up to $1,000. However, judges often grant “misdemeanor probation,” which entails little or no jail time.
Conditions of a probation include:
- Fines
- Counseling
- A requirement that you stay clear from the location where the crime was committed
- An AIDS test
