You can be accused of a Lewd and lascivious act when you touch the private parts (genitals, breast, buttocks, etc.) of another individual for sexual gratification without the consent of that person. Performing lewd acts in public place is against the law. It is also unlawful to touch an individual in a manner that makes that person uncomfortable.

A lewd act accusation in California is considered a sex crime and carries a very serious penalty that includes jail or prison time, as well as thousands in fines. According to California Penal code, section 288, any person who knowingly commits a lewd act for sexual arousal is guilty of a felony offense which is punishable for up to eight years in prison.
