Tampa Sodomy Attorney
The definition of sodomy varies between jurisdictions. In general, sodomy refers to anal sex or oral copulation between either a same-sex or heterosexual couple. Some definitions describe sodomy as any sexual act that is “unnatural” or “perverted” or “a crime against nature.” When an individual forces another person to engage in anal or oral sexual acts against his/her will, it is considered a form rape/sexual assault, and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
In Florida, there is no set or specific laws regarding sodomy. Instead, individuals are tried under Florida Statue 800.02, “Unnatural and Lascivious Acts.” This law is very vague, simply stating that, “any person who commits any unnatural and lascivious act with another person commits a misdemeanor of the second degree.”
If you have been accused of sodomy, you should contact and experienced attorney to assist you with your legal needs. Sodomy warrants a misdemeanor charge that is typically punishable by monetary fines, community service, time in county jail, and/or possible registration as a sex offender. However, because the laws regarding sodomy are so vague, unless you were caught engaging in sexual acts in public, it will be very difficult to prove you are guilty.
