Hi there. Last month I made a forum called “sex offender registration for peeing in a park”. A lot more details have emerged in my case and I’m faced with a critical decision and I don’t want to make them public. I was charged with statute 800.04(7)(b) which is lewd and lascivious exhibition. I was charged with this because apparently I was too drunk to realize that I actually was in plain sight of a mother and her 13 year old daughter. When they saw the officer she told him what I was doing and that’s why they charged me with that. So if I am found guilty I will be facing lifetime sex offender registration. I was recently offered a plea deal that only convicts me of my other two charges which were disorderly conduct and public intoxication which carries a 6th month probation period, no prison time, and avoids sex offender registration. My lawyer recommends me to take the plea deal. I am tempted to take it because I would like to get this over with due to all of the craziness going on right now (I definitely don’t want to risk going to prison and getting infected and who know when my trial would happen at this point) but I will still have a criminal record if I take the plea deal, and I do feel there is a chance I can beat the lewd and lascivious exhibition charges because I had no intention of exposing myself to this girl. My lawyer thinks there’s a good chance that I am found guilty and I will go to prison and become a sex offender. I’m seeking an opinion of others and you had the best answers on my forum. Should I take the plea deal or not?
