Public lewdness is a crime and could cause you a criminal record. There is also a move on in Albany to make this a registerable misdemeanor under Megan's law. YOU MUST HAVE AN ATTORNEY. If you can't afford one, get one appointed.
Good Luck.

This is a criminal offense with a possibility of jail time and a criminal record. You should not go to court unrepresented. Retain a competent criminal defense attorney to help assess your defenses and protect your rights.I handle matters such as yours on a daily basis and would be happy to have a free phone consultation with you. Please contact my office to set this up.

Ideally you should hire your own attorney, but if you can not afford to then once you appear for the DAT (appearanc ticket) you may ask that an attorney be appointed for you.
