Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Lewd and Lascivious Behavior and Sex Offender Registration

Without knowing what type of conduct you are accused of, I could not begin to inform you of the potential penalties you face. The DA is also free to alter the original charge submitted by the arresting agency to anything which fits the alleged behavior. One terrible ramification of any sex related misconduct, however, is the potential requirement of appearing on the state sex offender registry. This is made publically available on the internet and often still further publicized by media (including TV) on "slow news days" in order to improve ratings. Such a conviction and registration can make it extremely hard to find employment and a place to live, since your status must be disclosed to all neighbors before you move in. You therefore need an experienced criminal attorney as soon a possible.
