Orange County Minor Molestation Charges Attorney
Aggressive Criminal Defense From a Former Prosecutor
Individuals accused of lewd or lascivious molestation in Florida are often confused about both the severity of the charge and how it differs from lewd or lascivious battery. Generally, lewd or lascivious molestation charges:
- Involve encouraging, enticing or forcing a child younger than 16 years old to touch another person in a lewd or lascivious manner
- Are less severe than lewd or lascivious battery because they don't involve penetration. Instead, they can involve the intentional lewd or lascivious touching of the breasts, genitals or buttocks of a child younger than 16
Though less severe than lewd or lascivious battery charges, lewd or lascivious molestation charges can bring harsh legal penalties. Charges can be brought as life felon, second degree or third degree felony charges, with consequences ranging from three years to life in prison.
