(Violations are a class of offense that are not considered crimes but can potentially carry sentences of up to 15 days in prison.)Others who were arrested reported similar experiences, insisting that the alleged behavior for which they were arrested had never occurred.According to testimony from one man who was arrested and accused of public lewdness, the arresting officer refused to tell him why he was being arrested, only remarking “you gay people.”He pleaded guilty to a violation, paid a fine, and attended court-ordered therapy, but says the experience negatively impacted his mental health.
