There are harsh penalties. There are really harsh penalties. And then there’s getting 15 years for having sex on a public beach during the day.
A jury Monday found a couple guilty of having sex on Bradenton Beach after only 15 minutes of deliberation.
The convictions carry a maximum prison sentence of 15 years.
Jose Caballero, 40, and Elissa Alvarez, 20, were charged with two counts each of lewd and lascivious behavior for having sex on a public beach on July 20, 2014.
The issue was less the sex as much as it was that a 3 year old saw them. They now have to register as sex offenders.
Wait…what?
