Utah Lewdness Charges and Penalties
Lewdness charges in Utah need to be taken seriously. According to Utah law, lewdness charges can be brought when more extreme charges of rape, sexual abuse, sexual assault, or other types of unlawful sexual conduct aren’t involved. Someone convicted of lewdness typically has sex, exposes their genitals or private parts, or masturbates in public or in the presence of someone 14 years old or older when the accused knows that their behavior will cause offense or alarm.
The first or second time someone is convicted of lewdness, it is a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. If the person already meets the legal definition of a sex offender or has previously been convicted of lewdness two or more times, they face third degree felony charges, punishable by up to five years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines. And, as previously mentioned, four convictions of lewdness result in a listing on the Utah Sex Offender Registry.
Beating Utah Lewdness Charges
Fighting Utah lewdness charges involves understanding the nuances of the law and employing the appropriate defense strategies. When creating a defense in your case, Weber Law may:
- Maintain that the exposure – especially of the buttocks or breast – was accidental
- Argue that you believed the activity, conducted in private, was welcome by the other person
- Contend that you were not aware that another person was present
- Prove that your actions didn’t meet the legal definition of lewdness
- Assert that you were wrongfully accused
