Muskegon Indecent Exposure
Muskegon Indecent Exposure Lawyer
When most people hear they are under investigation for indecent exposure, or are charged with lewd conduct, they assume it is a fairly light charge. After all, most cases of indecent exposure arise from harmless misunderstandings or simply not being aware of a particular law. The penalties for indecent exposure and lewd conduct, however, are extremely serious, and anyone convicted of the charge in Muskegon could face both jail time, and significant fines. Never speak to police before you contact a sexual offense lawyer after you are accused of a crime in Michigan, as even if you believe you can defend yourself, your words can and likely will be twisted and used against you later on in your case. Grabel & Associates has experience fighting for clients statewide in cases similar to yours, and can guide you through what to say and do in order to avoid wrongful conviction and harsh penalties.

Michigan Indecent Exposure Laws
According to Michigan law, indecent exposure is defined as follows:
A person shall not knowingly make any open or indecent exposure of his or her person or of the person of another.
Though extremely vague, this law usually is applied to cases of exposure of the genitals or female breasts in public, which could also include public sex, public urination, streaking, flashing, and other similar acts.
Anyone who is accused of violating this law will face misdemeanor conviction, and dependent on the specifics of the alleged offense, could face a variety of harsh penalties. Contact an attorney to find out how your case is affected by Michigan indecent exposure laws, and begin working to secure a favorable case outcome right away.
Criminal Penalties for Muskegon Indecent Exposure Conviction
If convicted of indecent exposure in Michigan, you could face a misdemeanor conviction, which carries a potential sentence of up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000. If however, the alleged exposure involved fondling of the genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or female breasts, this sentence could be increased to up to 2 years in jail and a fine of as much as $2,000.
Persons deemed to be sexually delinquent, usually those who have sex crime convictions on their record, can be imprisoned for up to life, with a minimum sentence of one day. If your case involved alleged exposure to minors or other extenuating circumstances, the sentence you face could also be greatly enhanced.
It is critical that you get in touch with an experienced attorney right away with such serious and potentially life-changing penalties on the line. Our attorneys are available now to help you fight back against criminal conviction, jail time, and fines.
