Public Indecency

CHICAGO CRIMINAL LAWYER ANDREW M. WEISBERG – DEFENSE FOR PUBLIC INDECENCY CHARGES

Public indecency may seem like a minor charge, but in Illinois, it carries serious legal consequences that can impact your freedom, reputation, and future opportunities. A conviction can result in fines, imprisonment, and even mandatory sex offender registration in certain cases. Additionally, multiple public indecency offenses or an alleged offense near a school or daycare can elevate the charge to a felony.

If you have been charged with public indecency in Chicago, you need a skilled and aggressive defense attorney who understands how to fight these charges. Andrew M. Weisberg is a seasoned criminal defense lawyer who will work tirelessly to defend your rights and build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

TOUGHER ENFORCEMENT UNDER THE NEW COOK COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY

With a new Cook County State’s Attorney in office, the approach to prosecuting public indecency and other sex-related offenses has become more aggressive. The new administration has emphasized a firm stance on public indecency and related crimes, meaning that plea deals may be harder to obtain, and penalties could be more severe. Given this stricter enforcement, it is more important than ever to have an experienced defense attorney like Andrew M. Weisberg protecting your rights.

CHICAGO SEX CRIMES LAWYER ANDREW M. WEISBERG CAN PROVIDE THE AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE YOU NEED

Public indecency charges often involve allegations of engaging in sexual acts or exposing oneself in a public setting with the intent to arouse or satisfy another person. Under Illinois law, “public” refers to any location where there is a reasonable expectation of being seen by others.

Because of the broad nature of this charge, intent is a critical factor in determining guilt. Many cases involve misinterpretations or overzealous law enforcement actions. For example, public urination may sometimes result in a public indecency charge, even when there was no intent to arouse anyone. Andrew M. Weisberg carefully analyzes every detail of your case to challenge weak evidence, uncover procedural errors, and protect your rights.

During your initial consultation, Andrew M. Weisberg will evaluate the charges against you, explain your legal options, and begin crafting a strong defense strategy.
