I was doing research on someone I know, he was arrested and coming to find out he was charged w/ misdemeanor for lewdness violation, he had to send proof of hiv/std test to the courts in 30 days, why is that? Is it b/c of prostitute soliciting? or is it mandatory even if it was with someone he knew? Dont tell me to ask him b/c I cant he is my cousin's boyfriend, and all along I just didnt believe the sorry excuse he gave her for his arrest. Please any legal explanation from professionals or personal experience will be greatly appreciated. By the way the arrest was in Broward County in the State of Fl. Thanks much!

Try that link. There are apparently 3 types of offenses classified as "lewdness violations". The first two are misdemeanor, the third, which covers many types of actions, is classified as a felony.
Click on the links to each individual one on that page, and it will let you read the law and tell you if it is a misdemeanor or a felony. The only thing I can tell you with confidence from reading those statutes is that, if he was only charged with a misdemeanor, it most likely did not involve a minor. All those offenses are felonies. But no way to be totally certain with what limited info you have.

Although not from Florida a lewdness charge usually involves something of a sexual nature. For instance, urinating in public would be disgusting and anti-social indeed but not lewd. A breah of the peace at best. Now....whipping out your money maker and masturbating...that would be classified as lewd. Usually anything in which the 'actor' achieves a state of 'excitment' would fall into that catagory.

Dude, if the officer didn't find that there was probable cause to believe that he committed the offense of Disorderly Conduct under the Minn. statutes then he wouldn't've bothered to write up the report and have the city attorney or county attorney charge it out. Plus Disorderly Conduct is a real open-ended criminal offense in Minnesota by how the statute reads. There's a lot of conduct that's within the meaning of the Disorderly Conduct offense in Minnesota. Matter of fact, the absolute first trial I won was a Disorderly Conduct charge, it's an easy one to get somebody on. That isn't to suggest that what he did was somehow OK or whatever. They must have had certain things happening in the men's bathrooms at MSP there otherwise there wouldn't've been the officer there in the stalls.

I think it was a set up. Why else would the police (airport rent-a-cops) not press the charges of lewdness or solicitation? They just wanted to collect their fine, and let him go. Sen. Craig's political career is probably over. The abuse of power, however, was not Sen. Craig's but the media's, who pick and choose whose privacy they will violate on a partisan basis. How many times were we subjected to self-righteous harangues about how investigations into whether Clinton solicited sex from subordinates (thereby cheating on his wife) were intrusions into his "personal life?" Where were today's guardians of moral and political rectitude back in 1969 when Democrat Ted Kennedy drove drunk and with a suspended license off a bridge with Mary Jo Kopechne left to drown inside of his car? Where were the liberal media outcries to kick Democrat Barney Frank out of the Congress when he solicited a gay prostitute who in turn set up shop in his apartment? the point remains: Democratic sexual indiscretions are OK while Republicans' are not. It's a double standard.

He may have just simply been exposing himself in public, or he got busted for sex in public.
