What the Law Says
Under Florida Statutes, sexual battery is defined as non-consensual oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another. Penalties vary depending on the victim's age, use of force, threats, or weapons.
Lewd and lascivious conduct refers to behavior deemed sexually inappropriate involving a minor.
Both offenses often require sex offender registration, and convictions carry mandatory minimum sentences. That's why experienced legal defense is essential from the outset.
A Strategic Defense Rooted in Experience
Each case is unique. False allegations, misidentification, lack of evidence, or constitutional violations can all play a role.
We understand the stigma attached to these charges. That's why our approach is both compassionate and aggressive, fighting for justice while protecting your dignity.
