I got arrested for having sex in public. Am I going to get jail time? Be put on the sex offender registry?! HELP!

Do you want the opinion of random strangers on the internet or do you want something more reliable. If you were smart, this is something you would be asking your lawyer.

Oh really? Here's some helpful information...

§ 18.2-387.1. Obscene sexual display; penalty.

Any person who, while in any public place where others are present, intending that he be seen by others, intentionally and obscenely as defined in § 18.2-372, engages in actual or explicitly simulated acts of masturbation, is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

§ 18.2-11. Punishment for conviction of misdemeanor.

The authorized punishments for conviction of a misdemeanor are:

(a) For Class 1 misdemeanors, confinement in jail for not more than twelve months and a fine of not more than $2,500, either or both.

He asked whether he was going to get jail time. The Code only tells us whether he might. Plenty of people are charged with offenses that could result in jail time, yet never see the inside of a jail cell. They may instead get a fine, probation or an alternative disposition, and many of these cases are plead out on lesser charges. He might even get the charges dismissed. To get an idea of what is likely to happen, talking to a criminal defense lawyer would be more helpful than looking at what the Code says.

Crime of passion.

Bangin a hottie in the hatchback, or George michaeling around the park commodes? High five for the former, no sympathy for the latter.

I'd think the key to your defense would be "intending that he be seen by others", assuming you weren't. If you were, I do hope you had the decency to be banging somebody hot.

A good way to avoid jail time is to do some community service or take sensitivity training, or some crap like that.

I think we're going to need more details of what happened and perhaps pictures of all parties involved. Also if you could re-create what you were doing when busted in the pics that would be really helpful for us to determine just how much trouble you're in.

midemeanor jail sentences (1-2 yr max) are not done on first offenses usually

it'd have to be repeated or aggravated

if you know your caught red handed (rather white handed) why not pay up and skip the legal fees. there's 1/2 of what you might get burned for already.

ask the prosecutor maybe they'll pop for 1/2 or less

yet another quickie for you !

of course if you have a burning itch to fight the charges go ahead...

fairfax installed a bank machine INSIDE la courthouse. they have their OWN bank

wells fargo is next door to the courthouse. walk in you'll many LCD monitors reading "wells fargo, wells fargo v., wells fargo v., wells fargo v." ...

sit outside the courthouse. there's a cash truck that visits every day and it ain't to bring cash in mind you.

something tells me they want money. and why have you consume a job they could have their kid hired to do at 3x pay ? or a green card that will vote them in and has friends?

a sympathise. but i'll warn you not to get your hopes real high bargaining with promised services. good luck though !

Are you blind? The code posted above says less than a year.

pictures or it didn't happen

If you had sex on artificial turf paid for with tax money, they let you off.

I'm 18 and she is 17! I was charged with "Obscene sexual display" but they said I'd probably get more charges later!

Cops kept referring to her as a "little girl". Made me feel sick.

Am I FUCKED? It wasn't even my idea. It was hers. God damn it ....

Yes it is. First here's what you were charged with...

§ 18.2-387.1. Obscene sexual display; penalty.

Any person who, while in any public place where others are present, intending that he be seen by others, intentionally and obscenely as defined in § 18.2-372, engages in actual or explicitly simulated acts of masturbation, is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

(2005, c. 422.)


and this is sex with someone under 18...


§ 18.2-371. Causing or encouraging acts rendering children delinquent, abused, etc.; penalty; abandoned infant.

Any person 18 years of age or older, including the parent of any child, who (i) willfully contributes to, encourages, or causes any act, omission, or condition which renders a child delinquent, in need of services, in need of supervision, or abused or neglected as defined in § 16.1-228, or (ii) engages in consensual sexual intercourse with a child 15 or older not his spouse, child, or grandchild, shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. This section shall not be construed as repealing, modifying, or in any way affecting §§ 18.2-18, 18.2-19, 18.2-61, 18.2-63, and 18.2-347.

If the prosecution under this section is based solely on the accused parent having left the child at a hospital or rescue squad, it shall be an affirmative defense to prosecution of a parent under this section that such parent safely delivered the child to a hospital that provides 24-hour emergency services or to an attended rescue squad that employs emergency medical technicians, within the first 14 days of the child's life. In order for the affirmative defense to apply, the child shall be delivered in a manner reasonably calculated to ensure the child's safety.

(Code 1950, § 18.1-14; 1960, c. 358; 1975, cc. 14, 15; 1981, cc. 397, 568; 1990, c. 797; 1991, c. 295; 1993, c. 411; 2003, cc. 816, 822; 2006, c. 935; 2008, cc. 174, 206.)

You're going to jail you sick fuck. That's statutory rape. You will be on the sex offender registry for life!

Good Luck ever finding a job.

Unfortunately I don't know what else to tell you, I am sorry. But I have serious advice for everybody who's sexually active in fairfax county. Don't EVER do anything stupid while you and your partner are having fun, as in these main rules for sexual pleasure with your girlfriend/boyfriend or anybody for that matter. It's all very familiar to pretty much every student in this county that had took sex education when they were in 5th grade.

1. Don't have sexual intercourse in pubic places; such as public restrooms that are in every movie theater, shopping mall, stores, house parties, everywhere.

2. Don't share nude pics with anybody whatsoever, including your partner. You may think it will remain secret with your man/girl. But it's too fucking obvious that's a lie. It's pretty likely that douche will share your nude pics with their friends anyway. Trust no one, period.

3. Don't even think about recording a sex tape or any kind of pornography of yourself and whoever is doing it with you. It can be uploaded on the Internet or be shared with others. That wouldn't surprise me if a sex tape was posted on this site before. Also it can be viewed as child porn by the cops, school officials, and maybe by some really creepy perverts on the web. Things would get ugly for you and it would be a hell of a lot interesting to others. So don't even think about it.

4. We all know what this rule is going to be. And I have no need to tell you people what I am talking because the answer is very clear to everybody who's sexually active. But back to my original point. Yeah sure you get to feel more flesh without the condom; but what freaking retard wouldn't use protection while having sex? I mean what the shit is wrong with those kinds of idiots? Were they born yesterday!? Luckily I can speak two languages, English and moronic-an. USE CONDOM TO PLACE IT IN HOT DOG FLOWER. NO CONDOM MEAN STDS, AIDS, HERPES, AND OTHER BAD THINGS. OR WORSE BABY. DO U UNDERSTAND ME HANNES?

5. Lastly but not least, don't get too drunk or baked to the point where you'll fuck the crap out of anything. This is common for most stories I've heard about sex. It's a cool story if you like to drink and get high and all, but think before you act upon your horny hormones! You could have sex with literally anybody, if maybe, anything. The worst part is that you'll probably won't remember who you had sex with. For all you may guess, you might have eaten out of a goat. Just saying.

And I'm not treating you like you're dumb as hell, I am just reminding you to use your basic common sense. Nuff said.
