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. Charges may include:
-
Lewd and lascivious molestation
-
Lewd conduct in the presence of a minor
-
Lewd exhibition
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. At El-Naffy Law, we carefully evaluate:
-
Forensic evidence and lab procedures
-
Witness credibility
-
Police conduct and potential rights violations
-
Motives behind the accusation
