A couple in Florida were enjoying their time on a beach when passion took over. Witnesses saw them "engaging in some kind of sexual maneuvering" and called the police. They were arrested and put on trial for "lewd and lascivious exhibition", which is a felony in Florida. After being convicted last week, they both have to register as a sex offender and face jail time.
Sure, this was wrong. They shouldn't have sex on the beach where children or others are forced to witness. However, they should not face jail for this. The woman faces jail time due to the charge. However, the man faces an increased jail time of up to 15 years in prison because he has a prior drug conviction. This is yet another example of our insane legal system. A burglar may get five years in jail, but having sex on the beach could result in 15 years in jail.
