Utah Indecent Exposure Defense Lawyer
Lewdness and indecent exposure are often treated as funny subject matters on television but if you have been charged, you are facing a serious offense that can include your name being placed on the Utah sex offender registry. You need an aggressive, focused legal defense to help you get the charges dismissed or reduced to an offense that does not include sexual misconduct.
Lewdness is typically charged as a lower-level misdemeanor in Utah courts. But if you are convicted or accept a plea bargain, you can eventually be placed on the sex offender registry. I do everything possible to have charges reduced or changed to a non-sex offender charge.
I am sex crimes defense attorney Susanne Gustin of Salt Lake City. My law firm has represented hundreds of people charged with misdemeanor and felony sex offenses in communities throughout Utah. I work hard with the prosecuting attorney to find every available option to keep the sex charge off your record. Always, I prepare the case with an expectation that I will win in a trial, if the prosecutor won't be reasonable with a fair alternative. Keeping you out of jail is my first priority. Protecting your rights is my only focus.
I have won dismissals and acquittals for clients whose cases looked hopeless. No matter how much evidence the prosecutor seems to have against you, remember, you cannot be presumed guilty and there are often options available for finding alternatives to a conviction. I can help.
I have extensive experience representing clients charged with sex offenses in Utah, including:
- Indecent exposure, public lewdness
- Prostitution and solicitation
- Sexual assault, rape
- Forcible sexual abuse
- Child sex abuse and statutory rape
- Child pornography and solicitation of a minor on the Internet
Other Charges for Lewdness
Police have the authority to make an arrest for lewdness or indecent exposure even if there are consenting adults engaging in sexual behavior in a private (but public) location. It may often seem as if there is no real accuser. If you have been charged, talk to me about working with the police and prosecutor right away. We can often have charges dismissed or reduced to a non-sexual misconduct charge, such as disorderly conduct.
