Re: lewdness
One is a subset of the other. Subsection A is a Disorderly Persons Offense. Subsection B is a crime of the fourth degree, which carries much more severe penalties than subsection A. I am an attorney who has handled many cases similar to yours in various courts throughout New Jersey in the past. Please contact me to discuss your case in more detail. I never charge for simply talking to a person about their case. Thank you.

Re: lewdness
14-4 has several subsections. 14-4a is one of them. If you are facing any of these charges, I suggest you call an attorney ASAP.
Re: lewdness
2C:14-4a is a subsection of 2C:14-4. Subsection
4a alleges publicv lewdness as a disorderly persons offense. Subsection 4b describes public lewdness as
a fourth degree crime, a much more serious offense.
The disorderly person offense form of lewdness has a maximum jail sentence of six months. The fourth
degree lewdness has a maximum, possible jail sentence of 18 months.
