Chicago Criminal Lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg – Defense for Public Indecency Charges
If you’ve been arrested by the Chicago Police and charged with public indecency, you might feel more embarrassed than worried about the potential consequences. However, public indecency is still a criminal offense, and a conviction can carry significant penalties. Beyond the legal ramifications, any charge related to a sexual offense, no matter how minor it may seem, comes with a lasting stigma.
It’s important to recognize that multiple public indecency violations can elevate the charge to a felony, especially if the alleged offense occurred near a school. This is why public indecency charges are not to be taken lightly. As with any criminal charge, you need the services of an experienced and knowledgeable Chicago sex crimes lawyer to defend your rights. Andrew M. Weisberg is committed to providing the best possible defense in your public indecency case.
Chicago Sex Crimes Lawyer Andrew M. Weisberg Can Provide the Aggressive Defense You Need
Public indecency typically involves engaging in sexual acts or exposing oneself in a public setting with the intent to arouse or satisfy another person.

Given the broad nature of this charge, it’s crucial to investigate the specifics of your case—especially the intent behind the alleged act.
For instance, public urination might lead to a public indecency charge, but it doesn’t necessarily imply an intent to arouse others. These are the types of details that Andrew M. Weisberg will explore when reviewing your case. During your initial consultation, Mr. Weisberg will evaluate the charges against you, provide you with informed legal counsel, and help you determine the best course of action.
