Lewd & Lascivious Crimes Against Children
Sex Crimes Defense Law Firm: Orlando and Central Florida
Fighting for Your Rights and Freedom in Florida State and Federal Courts
Florida law prohibits all lewd or lascivious (sexual) touching of a child. Depending on the age of the accused, the age of the child, and the nature of the touching, this conduct can be punishable by life in prison. Ignorance of the child’s age, the child’s “consent,” and the child’s lack of chastity are not defense to these sex crime charges.

What are the different lewd or lascivious crimes against children?
- Lewd or lascivious molestation (child molestation or sexual assault upon a child)
- Lewd or lascivious battery (statutory rape)
- Lewd or lascivious conduct (improper sexual touching of a child)
- Lewd or lascivious exhibition (indecent exposure to a child)
It is important to note that both the age of the person allegedly committing the crime and the age of the victim play a significant role in the severity of the crime. Moreover, it is not a defense to Internet sex crimes, which could be viewed by a child (lewd or lascivious exhibition), that an undercover police officer was the targeted victim and involved in the detection and investigation of the crime.
