Lewd and Lascivious Conduct
Lewd and lascivious conduct is essentially any illegal, sexually charged action that has been committed to arouse the perpetrator at the expense of an alleged victim. Because lewd and lascivious conduct includes a range of different crimes, these offenses can be misdemeanors or felonies, depending on:
- The facts of the case and the severity of the alleged offense
- The age and number of alleged victims
- Where the alleged offense was committed
- Whether the accused individual has prior convictions for sex crimes.
At Peter Loyd Weber & Associates, our Broomfield and Boulder criminal defense attorneys are skilled at defending people accused of offenses related lewd and lascivious conduct, and they are committed to working diligently to helping the accused build the strongest possible defense.
Charges Related to Lewd and Lascivious Conduct

- Indecent exposure or the intentional, obscene exposure of oneself. While a first offense is typically a Class 1 misdemeanor, subsequent offenses can be charged as Class 6 felonies.
